K&D Graphics — A Nice Printing Racket

K&D Graphics also finds itself competing against web offset printers for smaller-quantity web runs, according to Don Chew, because of K&D’s ability to produce better quality. The CutStar roll sheeter on the XL 105 also enables the shop to match paper pricing, keeping costs down.

The addition of Artios-CAD structural design software for packaging design will further enhance K&D’s growth plans, which also include digital printing capabilities. However, the company’s founder prefers a slow and measured approach to growth.
