Joseph Merritt Co. Celebrates 105 Years of Innovation

Adopting the early digital applications in the print world, Merritt purchased a Canon Laser Color copier system. It was one of the first in the country. The color copier industry was hugely successful, and prompted Merritt to go after digital color graphics in a big way. In 1993, Merritt purchased one of the first 3M Scotchprint Systems, which was the birth of its large-format digital printing department, which Merritt refers to as “Big Color.” To keep up with technological advances, Merritt also purchased a Xerox Docutech, which was the first variable digital printing system; this in turn birthed its small format division: Print Solutions.
