NEW HAMPSHIRE PRINTER INSTALLS KPG DIRECTPRESS 5034 DI SYSTEM TO IMPROVE TURNAROUND TIME


Norwalk, Connecticut, USA - In July, Ben Franklin Printers installed the Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) DirectPress 5034 DI System to meet customer demand for quick turnaround, high quality, short run color jobs.

"Buying the KPG DirectPress 5034 DI System makes us more competitive by improving our turnaround time," said Marc Pinsonneault, Owner and President, Ben Franklin Printers. "Before installing the KPG DI System, we had to run four color jobs on a two color press."

The KPG DirectPress 5034 DI System brings together the quality advantages of offset printing with the workflow and automation benefits of digital printing. This combination presents new growth opportunities for commercial printers, trade shops, or digital service bureaus that want to tap into the growing demand for high quality, quick turnaround, short run, four color work.

Located in Manchester, N.H, Ben Franklin Printers provides its customers with full press, prepress and bindery services.
