With the installation of the new digital color press at its plant in Chanhassen, MN, the company moved an existing Xerox DocuColor 8000AP to its facility in Downey, CA, thereby expanding the digital color print capacity of that operation as well.
Management information systems (MIS) are the keystone of a successful printing operation. Senior management relies on these programs to evaluate overall company performance while production employees use the systems to communicate job data from virtually all departments, as well as to customers.
In this webinar, service providers will share:
* Critical requirements for successful implementation of MIS solutions
* How to enable unprecedented process automation - not only for internal manufacturing, but for external efforts (including Web-to-print) using JDF connectivity
* The benefits of MIS implementation: single entry, centralized data management, consistency, reduction in the number of errors, and transparent planning
* Recommendations for peers based on their own implementation experiences

Commercial printing industry news from Printing Impressions’ February 2011 edition.
As printers become more specialized, it makes the in-/near-/off-line decision making process clearer. Turnover times and run lengths continue to shorten, but the need for quality hasn't been compromised, prompting many printers to take their finishing functions off-line.
