Name Game No Longer Applies to Small Shops —Michelson

The three small, but highly progressive, printing companies appearing on this issue’s cover perfectly illustrate this convergence. The Allegra Reno (NV) Print & Imaging franchise focuses on four-color work, incorporating a five-color Heidelberg Speedmaster perfector, metal CTP system and in-house bindery to complement its Xerox DocuTech and DocuColor digital printers. City Colors Digital Printing Center, of Doral, FL, prints solely for the trade, relying, in part, on a pair of Presstek 52DI direct imaging presses to quickly output full-color business cards, brochures and flyers. Sussex, WI-based Special Editions has grown from humble beginnings—once laboriously churning out four-color jobs with an old, one-color Harris sheetfed—to now producing color work six-up at 15,000 sph with its new five-color Ryobi with tower coater.
