GRACE PRINTING — BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

The five-color NexPress, with UV coating capability, has added unimaginable value to the finished product, Ajith contends. The ability to create a full-color, laminated piece—completed within a 24-hour turnaround window—has helped earn Grace Printing a unique niche, the brothers believe.

Between the two presses, the adjacent facility addition (which will house the new digital gear) and new bindery equipment (including a C.P. Bourg perfect binder), the Eapens have invested $3 million. The last two-plus years alone have seen a concentrated effort to move from the offset platform to digital printing.
