Daniels Printing--Passing the Torch

As the 19th century drew to a close, Daniels Printing relocated within the city, found a niche as a major printer for the theater industry and also embarked on full-color printing. The company would change residences a couple more times before finally landing just outside Boston in Everett, MA.

Abraham Daniels' goat cart has been retired in favor of more modern equipment. The 135,000-square-foot facility in Everett boasts computer-to-plate technology with two BARCO/Gerber Crescent 42 platesetters. Daniels also has four Scitex Dolev imagesetters and an Agfa SelectSet 7000. The pressroom features a two-color, 28x40˝ Heidelberg perfector; a pair of six-color Heidelbergs, one with aqueous coater; a six-color, 28x40˝ KBA-Planeta; three eight-color, 28x40˝ Mitsubishi presses equipped with aqueous coaters; a six-color, 41x55˝ KBA-Planeta perfector; a five-color Heidelberg Harris heatset web with combination folder/sheeter; two four-unit Heidelberg Harris full webs; a two-color Heidelberg Harris full web; as well as a Xerox DocuTech and a DocuColor 70.
