Digital Shop Enters Offset Market with Heidelberg
Wednesday 14. May 2008 - MJA Graphics, previously an all-digital shop in Troy, Mich., recently installed a 2-color Printmaster QM 46 from Heidelberg for its first foray into offset.
“We had heard nothing but good things about the press,” Owner Rob Delaurier said. “And now that weve installed it, its working great. We checked this morning and were at 89,000 impressions in four months.”
Over the last eight years of operation, MJA has grown to 10 employees and a plant with more than 11,000 square feet of space. In addition to the new press, the shop also runs a POLAR cutter from Heidelberg. Delaurier uses Perfect Dot blankets on his press and other consumables from Heidelberg. “As an all-digital shop with no offset capabilities, the QM 46 lets us get into letterhead, business cards, envelopes and other short- to medium-run offset 2-color work we had previously been outsourcing.”
