JP Graphics Expands Digital Business with MGI Meteor DP60 Pro Press

APPLETON, WI—Oct. 20, 2010—JP Graphics Inc. has expanded its business into new digital markets with the addition of MGI’s Meteor DP60 Pro digital press. With the Meteor DP60 Pro, JP Graphics expects to offer more print opportunities for current customers as well as new customers. The four-color, multi-substrate press is designed for shorter runs and supports numerous applications in printing on paper, plastics/synthetics and envelopes.

In addition to traditional applications (brochures, catalogs, sell sheets, labels, etc.), JP Graphics now offers customers a wide range of new applications on plastic and synthetic substrates, with all products featuring a fast turnaround and the superior quality its customers have come to expect. Customers will also be able to include variable data printing (VDP), allowing for personalized text, graphics and other elements designed to precisely target key audiences.

“We are taking advantage of the Meteor DP60 Pro’s extended sheet sizes (up to 40” in production) as well as the wide range of plastics and synthetics,” said Owner/President Rod Stoffel. “Combined with the capabilities to offer short runs on letterhead, envelopes, brochures and other traditional commercial applications, we can now provide our customers with the widest range of digital print options available and a fast turnaround on all products.”

“We’re also looking forward to expanding into new markets with the Meteor DP60 Pro, such as fishing maps printed on synthetics, offset overprinting and custom photo products such as photo books, as well as other synthetic applications such as door hangers, RFID, membership cards and signage,” added Stoffel.

In its 41 year history, the company has grown from a small family-owned, local printer to a mid-sized regional printer with a national customer base, still privately owned.
