Northern Ohio Printing Purchases an MGI JETvarnish 3D Inkjet Spot UV Coater
CLEVELAND, OHIO – Nov. 6, 2012 Northern Ohio Printing announced today that they have purchased a JETvarnish 3D inkjet spot UV coater.
Located in Cleveland, Northern Ohio Printing was founded in 1984 by Gary Chmielewski as a print, cross media and mailing services to corporations who want to grow their brand integrity. From the beginning, Northern Ohio Printing has leveraged the best new technologies, combining them with a workforce of experienced craftsmen in order to produce a superior product at the most competitive cost. In addition, each of Northern Ohio Printing’s craftsmen is cross-trained to do at least two other production functions, enhancing an already lean operation.
Always on the lookout for new product and service offerings which will benefit their clients and attract new business, Chmielewski started to research options for digital spot UV coating in early 2012. After thoroughly evaluating the process and equipment offerings available, Gary selected MGI’s JETvarnish 3D as the best solution for Northern Ohio Printing.
“The flexibility to choose between the flat and raised 3D effects of the MGI was a key factor in our decision” said Chmielewski. “The ability to move between the two modes allows us to offer more solutions to our existing client base.”
” We see tremendous growth potential for the Jetvarnish 3D’s process” continued Chmielewski. ” Direct marketing communications are a natural fit for digital spot UC coating. I also see the JETvarnish 3D opening up new opportunities for us in the area of light packaging, point-of-purchase and retail communications.”
Sales and service are handled by Graphco, MGI’s distribution partner for Ohio, who provides outstanding local support for MGI’s entire line of digital solutions, including the JETvarnish 3D and the flagship Meteor series of digital presses.
The Northern Ohio Printing order was signed at Graph Expo, which was an excellent show for MGI in terms of not only orders taken, but in terms of qualified leads and booth traffic.
“Following a record-setting Drupa showing, we had high expectations for Graph Expo 2012 and these expectations were met,” said Michael Abergel, Executive Vice President and Managing Director for MGI USA, Inc. ” The response to our two new product debuts (the JETvarnish 3D and the Meteor Dp8700 S digital press) was great and it reaffirms that graphic arts professionals are choosing our versatile digital solutions to differentiate themselves in a competitive market by offering new digital services and increasing their profitablity.”
The JETvarnish 3D, honored as a Must See ’em in the Postpress Finishing – Digital and Small-Format category, build on the worldwide commercial success of the JETvarnish inkjet spot UV coater, giving graphics professionals a dual set of tools to increase profitability – traditional flat spot UV coating and new 3D raised effects, together for the first time in one production unit.
