SPRINT PRESS ACQUIRES STATE-OF-THE-ART AUTOMATED PREPRESS SYSTEM— SPEEDS PROOFS, ENHANCES QUALITY AND SAVES CLIENTS MONEY!!

Kent Zwingelberg, President of Sprint Press/Denver, revealed today that Sprint Press (both sheetfed and web divisions) will take imminent delivery on a leading-edge fully automated pre-press system developed by Creo Systems (formerly Creo/Scitex). This system, based on the newest Brisque 5.0 RIP and powered by the revolutionary InSight Server, will allow Sprint’s customers to electronically send their files and receive rapid-fire soft proofs back to their own computers, and hard proofs overnight. Some customers have declared themselves ready to approve soft proofs for press, indicating that their color-calibrated monitors make hard-proofing unnecessary on many projects. The new hardware and software are projected to complete testing and acceptance at both plant locations by October 1 of this year.

In addition to shaving several days off the proofing cycle for their clients, the companies have also invested in the newest laser plate imaging equipment, which creates pristine image clarity that surpasses even the superior quality for which Sprint Press was already widely known.

The Sprint Companies’ history of aggressive pursuit of technological advantage has landed them a leadership position in all aspects of commercial printing. Asked about their ambitious plans, Zwingelberg credited a long-range vision for customer satisfaction for guiding all corporate decision-making. Dedicated to top quality and impeccable service, the Sprint Companies rely on their technical edge to enhance competitiveness.

Local Sprint Press salesperson, Patricia Jahla, noted that the addition of data base mining and list development, a service unique among Colorado printing companies, has already met with great success. Jahla said “Sprint really does ‘get’ the big picture – we concern ourselves and support our clients’ needs from concept to completion. We are front-line providers of data-base mining, list development, the best electronic prepress the industry has to offer, superb press facilities, with 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8-color options, specialty in-line coatings and a wealth of options in the bindery. We list process and mail in both our plants. And the near-term plan, to be operational in about 16 months, is to have an 8-unit web in our plant in Ft. Worth. The new building for it is being built as we speak.”
