Kyle's Article Featured in Printers Trader Northwest Magazine!

I was recently approached by Sandy Hubbard, Editor and Publisher at Printer's NW Trader Magazine, who just so happens to frequent this blog! She had read my post about Bridgetown's recent acquisition of a Xerox DocuTech and wanted to publish it in their monthly magazine. Here is the article from September's edition:

Black & white with colorful results

by Kyle Richardson

To meet the increasing demand for affordable black and white duplication, Bridgetown Printing in Portland recently added a Xerox DocuTech 6180 to its existing equipment lineup. The digital press, known for its in-line finishing capabilities, can collate both printed and pre-printed sheets. Vice president of sales, Steve Plattner, commented on the recent purchase: “The Xerox Docutech allows Bridgetown to expand the range of services we offer — in this case high quality, quick turn, black and white reproduction and binding to help meet our clients’ growing needs for personalized materials, manuals, workbooks, and other text-intensive projects.”

To enhance the DocuTech’s capabilities, a Powis Parker tape binder with a separate foil-labeling device was also purchased. The tape binder uses a variety of colored tapes, which are inserted one at a time into the labeler. A small keyboard allows the user to type in the title information, and, after inserting a silver or gold foil cartridge, the tape comes out several seconds later, foiled and ready for binding. What does this mean for Bridgetown’s clients? In short, Bridgetown is turning black and white into some colorful results.
