Copresco
continues to score with awards for the jobs we do for you.
In May, we picked up three Achievement in Print
Excellence Awards (AIPX) for digital printing from the Printing Industry of
Illinois/Indiana Association.
We won Best of Category
Pinnacle awards for a four-color memorial book and a financial conference
events and activities book—and picked up an Award of Excellence for a
government agency pictorial guide.
“Your work
demonstrates the high quality standards of the printing industry in our
two-state region,” says Joanne Rock, interim president of the graphic arts
trade association. A total of 330 entries were submitted for the 2005
competition.
Since the AIPX program began in 2003,
Copresco has won seven achievement awards, including four Pinnacle awards,
“These awards reflect Copresco’s high-quality
control standards and our commitment to excellence in all facets of our digital
printing operations,” says president Steve Johnson.

The case
bound memorial book was conceived by a North Carolina state senator as a
pictorial tribute to his late wife. Controlling color was a special challenge
to Copresco’s production staff due to the large number of photos to be
reproduced from decades-old family snapshots.
The job was
printed with full coverage and full bleeds on every page and collated inline.
Covers were foil stamped on leatherette and cased.
The
North Carolina designer of the piece had contacted his local commercial
printer, who realized that digital printing was the only answer for the
short-run job of a mere 25 copies. He called on Copresco after learning about
our national reputation for handling impossible jobs that others won’t or
can’t handle.
Economies
were obtained for the financial conference piece by combining offset-printed
color covers and tab dividers with digitally printed one-color bodies.
Copresco’s staff used advanced grayscale management
controls to further enhance the text reproduction of the Canon Imagerunner
digital press. This provided the required harmony to match the high quality of
the offset pieces.
Gold wire binding, which matched the
style of the manual’s design, added a touch of class to the finished
product.
Digital
printing also provided the government agency with a classy document that
presents constituent neighborhoods in the most appealing atmosphere, while
meeting the tight budget constraints of public projects.
A color cover added visual impact to the one-color job
that contains a variety of photos and landscape drawings that had to be
reproduced with extreme accuracy.
Plastic coil binding
was selected for its resilience and lay-flat properties.
When you
need short-run books, manuals and other publications, call the company that has
the award-winning credentials and experienced staff to handle your job.

Response
to last month’s online survey about Acrobat 7 was spotty and inconclusive.
Although all respondents currently use some form of
Acrobat to create PDF files, not a single one has immediate plans to upgrade to
7.
Why is everyone waiting? So far, no one sees any clear
benefit to doing so. Many
Overnite Lite
readers also recognize that “upgrades” often create more
problems.
At
Copresco, we applaud and encourage this steady and logical approach to managing
your workflow tools. Worthy of note is the general overall satisfaction
everyone expressed with the PDF process.
“Acrobat
6.0 is working very well for us,” was a representative reason given for
not rushing to upgrade. Another positive theme: everyone liked the recent
“how-to” PDF article series in
Overnight
Lite.
We promise to keep you informed on
developments regarding Acrobat 7, and we’ll begin another technical series
in the near future.
Copresco
will be closed Monday, July 4, for Independence Day.
Have
a great summer weekend.
