Country Pines Invests in Efficiency Boosting HEIDELBERG Prepress Automation (piworld.com)

Country Pines, a family-owned full-service commercial printing company in Shoals, Indiana, recently installed a new Suprasetter 106 CtP from HEIDELBERG. The new Suprasetter, equipped with automated inline plate bending and Auto Pallet Loader, coupled with Prinect Production Manager, has helped increase the company’s productivity and improve throughput.

Rather than follow market trends, Country Pines is a company that continues to evolve based on the needs of its customers. According to Chad Haycox, President of Country Pines, “Our philosophy has always been: how do we best serve our customers and how do we deliver in a way that they continue coming back?” The company, who specializes in book production for schools, churches, religious organizations, and other businesses, was previously outsourcing its 40” offset work to a partner company. Needing to keep up with customer demand, Country Pines decided to bring all production in-house by increasing plant size and adding a Speedmaster SX 102 from HEIDELBERG.

Xerox Adaptive CMYK+ Kit for Xerox Versant Expands Color Palette to More Than a Million

Xerox announced the Xerox Adaptive CMYK+ Kit for Xerox Versant®, the print market’s first adaptive technology kit that adds seven specialty colors to an existing production press, enabling instant digital print enhancements. The kit transforms a four-color Xerox Versant® 180 Press into an 11-color Beyond CMYK press capable of creating a million color hues and shades by adding gold, silver, white, clear and fluorescent colors of yellow, magenta and cyan. Digital enhancement of print is projected to be a $25 billion market¹, but access to that opportunity usually requires a capital investment in a new press with the ability to print Beyond CMYK. The Xerox Adaptive CMYK+ Kit for Versant gives print providers the ability to simply swap out toners to print colors and enhancements that increase profitability and deliver higher margins without needing a new press.
