PRINT 01 WRAP-UP -- Lasting Impressions

In the press arena, Komori America announced the acquisition of HRB Inc. in Cincinnati, a Komori distributor, and J.E. Doyle has been named the North American distributor for PrintConcept GmbH's line of UV curing systems designed for web presses.

As for getting closer to customers, CreoScitex announced it was following the lead of Agfa and Heidelberg USA in offering consulting as a distinct service and separate from the product selling process. In recent years, there has been talk of the need for dealers to do more educating of customers about digital processes, but it now appears that the equipment manufacturers are finding they must fill the void.
