MINNEAPOLIS—Meyers, which produces retail marketing solutions, has purchased a new Durst Rho 900 high-speed, UV inkjet automated printing system. Installation is scheduled for March.

“As part of our $10 million investment in technology, which also includes a new KBA 81˝ litho press scheduled for installation in early Spring of 2011, the new eight-color super-large digital printer is designed and engineered specifically for the in-store signage and display segments of retail marketing,” says Fred Silloway, president.

Those lithographic printers walking the show floor earlier this month at Graph Expo in search of a bevy of heavy-iron, offset presses were sorely disappointed.
