ROCHESTER, N.Y. November 1—Armed with a new KODAK NEXPRESS 2100 press and KODAK NEXGLOSSER glossing unit, Sir Speedy Printing Scottsdale now can meet growing demand for high-impact color printing and glossing. Since the installation two months ago, the company has gained new business from customers it previously could not service.

“The NEXPRESS 2100 press can produce high-quality and reliable prints in a short amount of time, something our customers have been asking for,” said Sheri Statt Bercaw, Owner, Sir Speedy Printing Scottsdale. “The color is consistent from the first print to the last, reducing waste and allowing us to offer shorter turnaround times to our customers.”

The KODAK NEXPRESS 2100 digital production color press is a high-volume press that meets the growing need for fast turnaround short-run color work, as well as variable data print applications associated with one-to-one marketing applications. The KODAK NEXPRESS fifth imaging unit solution further expands the press’s available color gamut, enabling applications that require inline integration of specific PANTONE colors. The fifth imaging solution also enables inline coating for applications requiring greater durability such as direct mail.

The NEXGLOSSER glossing unit adds more cost-effective, high-impact gloss coverage to postcards, point-of-purchase displays, card stock and even offset-printed materials. By printing on offset with waxless ink and then applying a coat of KODAK NEXPRESS Clear Dry Ink to the sheets, the NEXGLOSSER glossing unit serves as an efficient, offline glossing system that adds even more value to printed documents.

Established in 1969, Sir Speedy Printing Scottsdale is the oldest Sir Speedy location in the world. It is the ninth largest Sir Speedy Center in gross sales volume. The company offers full service printing, copying and document management services. For more information, visit www.sirspeedy.com/scottsdale.
