Graph Expo 2004 Photo Gallery
Roy Grossman, president and CEO of Sandy Alexander Inc., Clifton, N.J., chaired a press briefing of The Print Council (www.theprintcouncil.org) at Graph Expo with a number of announcements about progress made since the group’s inaugural presentation at the show last year. Grossman, a member of the executive committee, reported that The Print Council is close to hiring a full-time executive director and expects to name that person—someone of “tremendous industry stature”—by Thanksgiving. Grossman also described “the Richmond Project,” a joint venture between The Print Council and the U.S. Postal Service that will aim at increasing the demand for and use of print media. He also spoke of the launch of an advertising campaign that will take “Print, the Multi-medium TM” and “Just Add Print TM” as its themes. With Grossman were, from left, Yves Rogivue (MAN Roland), executive committee; Gina R. Testa (Xerox), marketing committee chairperson; and Thaddeus B. Kubis (NAK Marketing Communications), who will direct the advertising campaign. |
Jim Cameron, Walter Gierlach, and Rob Freidman are partners in a new venture called WinAmerica Inc. (www.winamerica.net), an equipment importer that came to Graph Expo with a mission: to introduce what the partners called the first affordable, four-color landscape offset press. Their offering was the WIN 504, a 19.69" x 14.37" press that Friedman said is built to exacting specifications by one of China’s largest manufacturers of printing equipment. Friedman said that WinAmerica took 14 show orders for the press, which is priced in the $200,000 range and is available in the U.S. through a network of 45 dealers. According to Friedman, the WIN 504’s low price will give small printers ”the ability to grow their businesses without growing their debt structure.” Aimed at two-color printers who cannot afford the $300,000-$400,000 price tags of other lateral-feed four-color presses, the WIN 504 includes solid-state electronics, touch-screen controls, continuous dampening, and other technical features required by the U.S. offset market.
