ProImage Ink Optimization Provides Significant Savings for More Newspaper and Commercial Printers

Princeton, NJ – 24th October 2011: The Reading Eagle, PA, is a company that believes it is imperative to stay abreast of technology, and to maintain a tight rein on costs. It processes approximately 4,600 broadsheet pages each week, and therefore suffers a significant cost in ink usage. To reduce this cost burden it has installed ProImage OnColor ECO, the industry’s leading ink optimization software, stated New ProImage (new-proimage.com) today. “With OnColor ECO we are currently now saving an average of 27% in total ink costs,” said Chris, D’Angelo, Production Prepress Manager. “And as we are continuing to increase our commercial printing business, so our total cost for ink is increasing – therefore the percentage cost saved becomes even more important. “Also, with less ink being put on the page we have seen a cleaner finished product coming off the press, especially with lighter weight newsprint,” added Mr. D’Angelo. The Reading Eagle implementation of OnColor ECO is integrated within their ProImage NewsWay production workflow. Another recent installation of this ink saving tool is at the Nowata Printing Company with three Midwest printing facilities. Nowata is dedicated to providing commercial printing solutions for a wide variety of clientele. It specializes in heat, cold and UV web offset printing of inserts, flyers, catalogs, magazines and newspapers. It knows the cost of every aspect of its production, and invests in technology to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Since it implemented ProImage OnColor ECO ink optimization software Nowata Printing is, according to Gary Hensley, General Manager, saving more than $140,000 per year. Nowata has implemented OnColor ECO with its existing Screen Trueflow workflow system. Rick Shafranek, vice president sales, New ProImage America, says, ”With a total cost of ownership so low, the ROI so high, and usage so simple, implementing OnColor ECO should be a no-brainer for most printers, whatever systems they use.”
