Double Diamond for Buchanan
DALLAS—Buchanan Visual Communica-tions has installed a 12-color Mitsubishi Diamond 3000R convertible perfector with twin coaters. Known as the Double Diamond perfector, the 40˝ sheetfed press incorporates 17 total units, reportedly making it the largest number of units of any commercial sheetfed press in operation. According to David Johnson, president of Buchanan Visual Communications, the ability of the perfector to print six colors and coat both sides of the sheet simultaneously provides his company with a marketplace advantage.
