Toronto-based Flash Reproductions becomes the first commercial-printing plant in Ontario to install a toner-based MGI Meteor DP60 PRO press, including the XL-format option.
“It’s exciting to be the first in our area to have a new digital press that offers so much,” said Rich Pauptit, President, Flash Reproductions. “The Meteor DP60 PRO has a much better image quality than its competitors, is much more versatile with a larger sheet size, is much more favorable in its pricing than its competitors, and has no on-going click charges.”
The Meteor DP60 PRO, purchased through KBR Graphics, reaches a top resolution of 2,400 on a range of substrates, such as paper, envelopes, polyester, polycarbonate, polypropylene, PET, vinyl, synthetics, styrene, vinyl/static cling, canvas, and magnets.
Pauptit feels the new press will help secure its business relationship with the Toronto Transit Commission, for which Flash produces back-lit signage that is predominantly used within 11.5 x 34 inch light-boxes on the subway. “No other digital press can do this except our Meteor,” said Pauptit. “In the past, they’ve had these jobs printed using a different, but much more expensive, method.”
The 4-colour press also accommodates a range of sheet sizes, from 4 x 6 inches up to 13 x 40 inches, and is capable of handling weights from 20# to 16 pt. “The Meteor’s sheet size is a huge plus for us,” said Pauptit. “All of the other digital presses were 13 x 19 inches but the Meteor is 13 x 40 inches. We found that customers had to design around that smaller size.”
Flash was founded in 1969 and is now one of the most award-winning operations in Toronto’s tough printing market.
