NORWALK, CT—Three more printers have recently installed digital offset presses from Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG). Chicago-based M&G Graphics (www.m-g-graphics.com)—a certified Women's Business Enterprise—installed a KPG DirectPress 5634 DI system because it couldn't meet customer demand for short-run color jobs on its two conventional offset six-color presses. Victor Printing (www.victorptg.com), a wholesale print manufacturer based in Sharon, PA, has added two KPG DirectPress 5034 DI presses to offer competitive pricing on short- to medium-run four color jobs. Gator Media Group in West Caldwell, NJ, (www.gatormediagroup.com) has purchased a KPG DirectPress 5034 DI so it no longer has to outsource short-run color work. (www.kpgraphics.com)
