Heidelberg Technologies Bring Speed, Quality & Growth Opportunities for Printers Across the Country

IMEC Steps Up Its Capabilities with Speedmaster SM 74 and Prinect Axis Control
IMEC knows color quality, and has built its business on that knowledge. Recognized as a prepress color specialist, the Memphis, Tenn. company recently decided to expand its press offerings and installed a Heidelberg 5-color Speedmaster SM 74 with perfector and coater, as well as Prinect Axis Control and Color Assistant. IMEC Vice President Jacob Cole says the new Heidelberg solution has “been quick to get projects up to color” and provides “consistent sheet-to-sheet color quality.” The new SM 74 is used to print brochures, catalogs, posters, sales sheets and other business collateral for advertising agencies and manufacturers of cosmetics and home furnishings, among others. Cole says the company already sees growth potential on the SM 74 and a great return on its investment. IMEC, formally known at Memphis Engraving Co., also owns a Heidelberg Prosetter 74, and uses various Heidelberg Consumables, including plates, blankets, fountain solutions, lubrications, grease and paper. Founded in 1923, the family-owned business has 135 employees at its six Tennessee locations.
