Imaging Leaders Test Their Wares at Copresco

   Walk into Copresco on any given day and you’ll see an experienced staff of digital specialists turning out thousands of books and manuals.
   You may also see a visitor from Japan or representatives of leading graphic arts equipment manufacturers or paper mills.

What’s Going On?

   Some of these guests are our customers, but others are here to learn more about Copresco’s innovative approaches to on-demand printing. Still others are using Copresco to test their equipment.
   Current projects in the shop include the evaluations of new digital equipment and front-end technology and paper packaging studies.

What Does This Mean to Me?

   Everything we do in research, testing, workflow procedures and equipment purchasing benefits our customers.
   What we learn from these ongoing programs, we apply to your work. You gain the advantages of the latest technology advancements in black & white and color digital printing. Your jobs flow through the plant quicker, more smoothly and with greater quality control.

Why Copresco?

   Copresco is regarded as one of the best digital shops in the nation, based on our efficient workflow, meticulous attention to detail and “hospital-clean” working environment.
   Suppliers know that Copresco has long been renowned as a pioneer in advanced digital technology. They know that we don’t go for hype, ballyhoo or window dressing. Only the end results count. We do it the right way for you. Following are some concrete examples of our testing and consulting activities.

If It’s Better...We’ll Use It

   Copresco is currently testing Heidelberg Digital’s 9110 printer, an alternative to the docutech. Our objectives are to obtain improved halftones and solids reproduction, superior registration and gain access to a wider selection of paper stocks.
   “We purchased our first docutech in 1990,” says Copresco president Steve Johnson. “The system was a clear improvement over previous equipment. But, we have always said that when we find a better machine, we’ll buy it for the same reason.”

RIP Improvements

   Following our years of consulting and providing technical feedback to Xerox, we have been beta testing an experimental RIP/controller that can increase color fidelity and provide greater control.

Paper Chase

   Boise Cascade sought out Copresco to test a new packaging concept. They needed a large-volume printer with a workflow geared to exceptionally fast turnaround, whose customers could benefit from even faster and more efficient bulk paper handling.

Foreign Relations

   Copresco’s reputation for digital leadership has prompted visits from Japanese manufacturers who want to get a better understanding of on-demand book printing and finishing and obtain advice for new product design and development.

The Bottom Line

   “We will continue to assist our colleagues in the graphic arts industry, while holding our vendors to the highest standards,” Steve says.
   “We want these suppliers to understand this: What’s good enough for our competitors in not nearly good enough for Copresco customers.”
   So, when you need publications, books or manuals on-demand, call the company that has the high-tech skills and indepth experience to meet your special needs. Call Copresco.
