Founded more than half a century ago, Burrell Colour Imaging has embraced digital printing technology from Kodak in its transition from serving Chicago and northwest Indiana photographers to a national full service lab offering both traditional and digital processing and printing. CEO Don Burrell investigated many digital press printing solutions, and chose the KODAK NEXPRESS S2500 Digital Production Color Press, because of its ability to deliver the quality, durability, and longevity required by the professional photographic industry.
“The Fifth Imaging Unit Solution of the NEXPRESS Color Press gives us many unique opportunities in the photographic market,” said Burrell, who started the company in 1959. “From Dimensional Printing and clear finish coating to an extended color gamut, the NEXPRESS Color Press is ready to meet the varied demands of our customers in all market segments. We need a solution that provides the most flexibility for our current and future business, and Kodak gives us that.”
