Vertis Enhances Its Large-Format Printing Platform

BALTIMORE—Nov. 9, 2011—Vertis Communications revealed the next step in revolutionizing its large-format business with the implementation of an EFI Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that offers seamless integration with its state-of-the-art production equipment, including a new EFI VUTEk GS3200 large-format inkjet printer.

With the addition of EFI Pace software, Vertis advances its end-to-end capabilities in large-format media design and production. Clients, such as Verizon, USAA Banks, Vans and Kawasaki, will benefit from the real-time production tracking and inventory management achieved through the new cutting edge ERP system.

“EFI advanced technology represents a powerful extension to Vertis’ full-service large-format solutions, maximizing our speed, flexibility and accuracy from production to fulfillment and reporting,” said Terry Monday, vice president of Integrated Solutions Sales, Vertis Communications. “We are eager to begin leveraging these new capabilities to continue advancing our clients’ speed to market and ROI.”

The GS3200 boasts innovative digital advancements to quickly achieve consistent print photo-quality images, crisp text, vibrant colors and white ink on rigid and flexible substrates in order to maximize the visual allure of promotional materials, from window clings, exhibits and in-store signage to POP/POS displays, billboards and fleet graphics.
