For Buchanan Visual Communications, the Future Of Print Lies in Perfecting

The Dallas-based firm installed a 12-color Mitsubishi Diamond 3000R convertible perfector with twin coaters. Known as the Double Diamond perfector, this 40-inch press incorporates 17 total units, the largest number of units of any commercial sheetfed press currently in operation.

“This is truly a one-of-a-kind press,” remarked David Johnson, president. “The ability of the Double Diamond perfector to print six colors and coat both sides of the sheet at one time gives us a definite advantage in the marketplace. We can up-sell existing accounts on value-added services, such as spot ultraviolet coatings, ultraviolet inks or hybrid UV inks instead of conventional inks and aqueous coatings. The majority of jobs we do entail press checks by our customers, and being able to cut that time in half with a two-sided press check helps save clients money.”
