New Copresco Press Installed for Fast Turnaround and On-Time Delivery

Copresco is upgrading its digital fleet with a second Konica-Minolta 6136P press to meet increased production demands and guarantees for fast turnaround and on-time delivery.

The twin of the 6136P that was installed in late 2020 meets the same standards for Copresco’s high volume production and provides exceptional black & white print reproduction.

“The people at Konica-Minolta are amazed by Copresco’s demanding quality standards and commitment to maintain our Copies Overnight promise of producing 250,000 pages overnight for any client,” says President Steve Johnson.

“We have fine-tuned the new press to assure that our large-scale black & white printing matches Copresco’s award-winning color work.”

The press offers inline saddle stitching for up to 80-page booklets and can handle multiple paper stocks and weights. Precise tone controls are included to allow the creation of halftone curves on the fly. “This is a feature normally only found on full color presses, but required by Copresco for our unparalleled monochrome work,” Johnson added.

Copresco produces millions of pages of short-run publications, books, manuals and publications. Projects range from booklets, catalogs, handbooks, textbooks and technical materials to training aids, newsletters, calendars and cookbooks.

Commercial Printing Industry Outlook: Preparing for the Upturn in 2021 (piworld..com)

The commercial printing industry will grow in 2021. Growth will begin during the second quarter, and accelerate through year end. No company, however, should count on the upturn or the shakeout of weak competitors to make everything right. Much will be different in the post-COVID world. And much of the gains ahead will be reserved for companies already thinking about those differences, and how to make them opportunities rather than threats. Those conclusions are based on the COVID-19 Print Business Indicators Survey, conducted every other month by PRINTING United Alliance and NAPCO Research. Nearly 200 commercial printers participate. The diverse group has annual sales ranging from less than $1 million to more than $700 million, and is located across the U.S. and Canada. We measure percent change in sales in two ways. Year-over-year is the first to capture the depth and breadth of the downturn. Among all companies surveyed, sales fell 16.9%, on average, during the first three quarters of 2020 compared with year earlier levels, declining for 81.9% — by at least 20% for more than half and at least 30% for nearly one-third — and increasing for just 17%. One participant speaks for many when he describes what’s happened this year as a “seismic downturn.”

Impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on Print Industry Supply Chain and Raw Materials

As petrochemical companies and raw material suppliers regain their footing, they are beginning to gain clarity about the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the printing industry supply chain, though there are still many unknowns. According to Flint Group, who has been in continual conversation with affected suppliers, Gulf-area and Southeastern US suppliers are in a variety of recovery stages. Some are still assessing the damage and impact to their businesses. Others have begun to restart operations but at reduced capacity, causing a supply and demand imbalance. Many have made public announcements about continued forces majeures and supply allocations. Some transportation companies are imposing fuel surcharges due to very limited availability of carriers. Suppliers tell Flint Group they will be able to offer more tangible information about the impact of the storms once conditions stabilize further. Click Read More below for additional detail.
