Copresco Stars in United In-Flight Production

   United Airlines passengers are getting an inside look at Copresco’s modern digital printing facilities, thanks to an infomercial produced by Boise Cascade.
   The video scenes were taken from footage shot at our plant for the introduction of SPLOX™, a new paper delivery system.
   Boise is one of several prominent industry suppliers who often ask Copresco to test their wares.

A Real Pro Required

   “We needed a high volume digital printer with a workflow geared to exceptionally fast turnaround who could benefit from an even faster and more efficient bulk paper handling system,” says Vince Phelan, director of product management and marketing communications.
   Boise also required a digital printer with tightly controlled processes and a facility large enough to accommodate extensive testing without disturbing daily on-demand production. Copresco’s 14,000 sq. ft. plant, with its spacious production area and hospital-clean environment, made a perfect fit.

Well Staged

   Armed with stopwatches and video cameras, Boise engineers and technicians timed and recorded every aspect of Copresco’s paper handling operations. Skids of prototype boxes were delivered for extensive testing and evaluation.
   After months of onsite research, Boise unveiled the new Splox paper delivery system that holds 2,500 cut-size sheets and provides an easier way to lift, move and load paper than traditional 10-ream junior cartons.

“We were eager to participate in this project because we felt that cut-size paper was created for small shops to feed copiers, not with a digital workflow in mind,” Johnson stated.
   Following the research and development phase of the project, Copresco staff members were asked to star in a video series, putting the new packaging system through its paces during three strenuous days of filming.

Invaluable Assistance

   President Steve Johnson played a leading role via taped interviews for the manufacturing research, sales training and promotional productions.
   “Copresco’s cooperation in the development of this new packaging product has been invaluable, and the generous use of the company’s facilities for filming was praiseworthy,” says marketing manager Kelly Jones.

Wise Counsel

   As a leader in digital technology since the inception of on-demand printing, Copresco has served as a consultant and technical adviser to equipment manufacturers like Canon, Heidelberg, Imation, NexPress and Xerox.
   “We are continually working to improve image quality, press performance and production efficiency,” Steve concluded.
   So, when you need books and manuals, call the leading performer in the digital printing industry.
   Call Copresco.
