Illinois State University Adds HP-Indigo

In 2000, Illinois State University Printing Services purchased a Heidelberg QM DI 46 direct imaging offset press. Since then, digital printing has taken off. In response, the in-plant recently invested in this growing technology too.

“The growth of full-color printing was exponential,” says David Nelson, director of Printing Services. “Now, run lengths are getting shorter, turnaround times more demanding, and customers have expressed interest in variable data printing. A digital press is more efficient because it does not require negatives, plates, makeready and lots of time. Time is money...It was time to decide.”
