Norwalk, Connecticut, USA - Tackett Printing, based in Little Rock, Ark., recently installed the Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) DirectPress 5034 DI System to boost its ability to handle fast moving, short run color jobs.

"The KPG DirectPress gives us the ability to do longer print runs," said B.J. Yerger, President, Tackett Printing. "We were able to bring back a customer because of the product's outstanding print quality and fast turnaround time. The customer loves having a printer that can take in the art on Thursday and deliver on Friday."
