Worth Higgins & Associates Bridges the Gap Between Offset and Digital
A solution for customized short runs
Pressroom Manager Butch Kelly is impressed with the durability of the ink when cured with UV. “With our other digital press, if a piece was going to go through the mail, the ink had a tendency to get scuffed. The UV inks are much harder, and they don’t scuff,” says Kelly. “The production coming off the UV press can also go straight to bindery.”
Worth Higgins & Associates is finding it makes sense to migrate more jobs to the IS29. One example is letters that print with variable data for banking and university customers. In the past, the company printed the shell of the letters on an offset press, trimmed them to 8.5x11" and then imprinted the variable data from a digital device. Now it can migrate that work and do everything at once on the IS29, saving time and expense.
Rick LaReau, CEO of Worth Higgins & Associates sums it up: “The IS29 goes beyond just producing quality digital print. It is innovative technology that successfully fills the gap between both mainstream offset and digital. One of our favorite expressions at Worth Higgins & Associates is that we are not only good at what we do; we also celebrate others who are good at what they do. Komori is a company that continues to demonstrate this excellence to us. We see the IS29 as the future of technology, and we are thrilled to partner with Komori to see where this technology can take us.”
