October 29, 2008 · Filed Under Digital Printing, Offset Printing · Comment 

Sir Speedy Walnut Hill, one of the fastest growing marketing and printing services providers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area has purchased Zebra Printing, another local and very successful digital printing facility.

Former owner Jaime Joiner said,

“we’ve been looking for just the right partner company to merge with; one that could greatly improve our range of marketing-related service offerings. Once we sat down and talked to Phillip Crum and his partner/son Tyler, we knew there was some very exciting potential here and we decided, after much due diligence, to pursue a merger that was good for both of our operations.”

The two companies will officially merge November 1st and both Jaime and her Zebra co-owner, Sherry Briggs, will be joining the Sir Speedy team in very high profile ways. Sherry will be joining Phillip and Tyler in the new business development arena, and Jaime will be adding her considerable experience to the offset and digital production areas where she’ll work with Preston Crum, Digital Production Manager.

We’re very, very excited about this merger and we look forward to a long and profitable relationship with both Jaime and Sherry. Welcome aboard, ladies!

Digital Printing, Digital Press, What? (Dallas, TX)

June 22, 2008 · Filed Under Digital Printing, Integrated Marketing, Offset Printing · Comment 

Chief Idea Officer of MarketingMeasureConfused by the terms commonly used to describe non-offset printing? Well let’s straighten that out right now. Digital Printing is the term most commonly used to describe documents produced in an electronic, non-offset environment, typically a color copier by another name. Sort of.

So is all digital printing done on a digital press, and what is a digital press?

No, not all digital printing is done on a digital press. There are very few, true digital presses. Most of what is produced and called digital printing is done on color copiers. A digital press is a machine that looks a lot like a copier because his ancestors were indeed copiers, but the method in which the image is created, cmyk mode, is done in exactly the manner in which offset printing produces a cmyk process color image. That makes it a true press by definition.

So when would you produce a cmyk image on an offset press vs. a digital press? Use an offset press when the run lengths typically exceed about 5,000 or you have plenty of time or 1-to-1 personalization is not wanted. Use a digital press (like a Canon ImagePRESS 6000) when your run length is less than 5000, you want personalization on each piece, or you don’t have the time for the offset printing cycle.

Got it?
