NEW YORK

BROOKLYN—When Coeur Noir, a boutique specialty printer, decided to no longer outsource its short-run work to trade printers, it opted for a two-color Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46 press for print runs of 500 to 5,000 copies.

BUFFALO—The Colad Group, a designer and manufacturer of presentation and promotional packaging, recently purchased a Xeikon 6000 digital color press. The Xeikon 6000 is capable of running 20˝-wide substrate rolls with almost no limitations in length, with substrate weights as light as 27-lb. text and as heavy as 16-pt. paperboard. The press comes standard with the Xeikon X-800 digital front end, which will enable Colad to offer complete customization and variable data printing capabilities.
