MCA-NetPub Inc., a division of Media Corporation of America in business for more than 30 years, has consistently ranked as one of the top twenty digital book printers in the U.S. Its founder, William Grogg, leverages the company’s web-to-print platform to integrate order placement, document management, digital printing, inventory, and shipping management.
Earlier this year, MCA-NetPub began investigating production inkjet to provide increased capacity and affordable color to its operation. “We were increasingly seeing our books and manuals customers incorporating more color in their publications,” Grogg says, “and while we did not feel at risk of losing their business because we could not address this requirement, we felt it would become a greater disadvantage over time.”
Grogg chose to install the Ricoh (Booth 2022) InfoPrint 5000 GP. “In addition to the quality and cost dynamics Ricoh offered,” he says, “I was impressed with their service and support infrastructure in the New York area. I also had confidence in them because of their IBM heritage, and their early role in the development of production inkjet solutions.”
