LOS ANGELES—Anderson/LA, a Consolidated Graphics company, recently installed a new Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102-6+LX UV press. The six-color model features Prinect Axis Control for closed-loop, inline color measurement and control, which ensures spectral data measurement and exact color reproduction. A Plastic Kit was added throughout the press, which enables printing on diverse substrates such as plastic, synthetic, static-cling and magnetic materials.
The addition of a new Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102-6+LX UV press will allow Anderson/LA, a Consolidated Graphics company in Los Angeles, to meet the increasing demand by its retail and restaurant clients for a wider variety of in-store graphics, point-of-purchase applications and related printed materials, with increased flexibility, improved quality and shortened turn times.
For its first quarter ending June 30, 2013, Consolidated Graphics reported a revenue of $236.7 million. Compared to $238.3 million for the same quarter last year, an expected decline in election related business was partially offset by a 1 percent increase in same-store sales.
