PRINT 13: Mood: A Breath of Fresh Air

Hudson Printing was quite active at the show, putting the finishing touches on a pair of acquisitions: a new HP T-series continuous-feed inkjet press and a Standard Horizon StitchLiner 5500 saddlestitching system (along with inspection accessories).

Since the web press was essentially obtained prior to the show, the focus was on finding finishing gear in the 30˝ inkjet web space. Standard Finishing represented a new vendor for Hudson Printing, and the chief exec sees the importance of meeting representatives face-to-face in order to build and cultivate these relationships. HP helped introduce Hudson and his crew to the finishing partners that it felt addressed the printer's needs.
