New Inkjet Press for Edwards Brothers Malloy
The press will handle print runs ranging from one to 1,500 copies and page counts up to 1,100-1,200 pages, depending on paper bulk. A variety of paper options, including coated stock, and softcover and hardcover bind styles will also be offered.
Edwards noted that the company has invested significantly in its digital manufacturing operation in the last year, adding new staff and upgrading its existing fleet with the installation of new Océ, Konica Minolta and HP presses, as well as new case-making, bindery, trimmer and lamination equipment. The company also expanded its Print Local service to its Oxnard, CA, print center and took over an in-house digital print center for Pearson. The moves are part of a multiyear plan to cement the company’s lead in short-run book and journal manufacturing.
