OU Printing Adds Eight-color Press

University of Oklahoma Printing Services has gone where no in-plant has gone before. The 75-employee in-plant has installed an eight-color sheetfed press in its Norman, Okla., plant.

The press, which started running live jobs in mid March, is a 28x40˝ Heidelberg Speedmaster 102 perfector. The in-plant needed the press “because of the vast amount of four-color work we’re doing—and it’s almost all four-over-four,” said John Sarantakos, administrator of Printing and Mailing Services, in an interview with IPG. This color work includes magazines, brochures and posters. “We’ve got a big niche, and this is just going to open up new markets,” Sarantakos added.
