Greater Efficiency Is Goal of Latest Install Sites for Heidelberg Solutions

The most recent to go live is Prinect Remote Access used by Wallace as an automated means to facilitate soft proofing and uploading/downloading of customer files. Prior to the installation, Foster said, the company relied on the exchange of manually prepared PDF files.

As a result of these improvements, “We’ve morphed into an on-demand business,” Foster said. “Our normal turnaround times have shrunk from five to one-and-a-half days”—no small feat for a company whose menu of commercially printed products and services runs the gamut from brochures and business cards to documentation and design. The company retains its staff of four prepress operators, who are more efficient as all phases of job preparation now can be handled at their individual workstations.

Wallace Graphics is a general commercial printer established in 1987, and serving a regional clientele, including brokers with national clients, corporations and educational institutions. The company employs 40 full-time workers.
