BWI (Bob Weber Inc.) (Booth 3663), evolved from a small operation that sold graphic arts equipment through broker listings to one of the most trusted names in the prepress industry for new and reconditioned CTP, CTF, processors, plates, parts, and service with a dedicated sales and technician staff, many of whom have stayed with the company for more than 30 years.
“PRINT 17’s Metamorphosis theme comes at a time when Bob Weber Inc. is going through changes of our own,” says Leslie Schmidt-DiVincenzo, Marketing Director, BWI. “We are on the cusp of marking 35 years serving the industry, and undergoing our own evolution. We’ve recently launched our new Paragon line of thermal, direct-on-press, and violet plates, alongside our BWI 400-800 Series CTP.
“We believe that these high-quality products, combined with our reconditioned equipment offerings and dedicated service, will position us to fulfill our mission of becoming ‘The Complete Prepress Solution,’ a more flexible and personal alternative to the major manufacturers.”
BWI’s new product portfolio, which is new to the USA, was a major factor for the company exhibiting this year. Attendees will be able view the BWI CTP with the Paragon DOP (develop on press plate) solution. “We believe our solution will enable printers in any situation to more readily meet the needs of the modern industry, and remain competitive by offering them high-quality products at a lower cost than the major manufacturers, with more flexibility and personalized service,” says Schmidt-DiVincenzo. “BWI Paragon plates are proven to save on water, ink, chemistry, power, and time, resulting in reduced in-house costs for the printer, and more competitive pricing to their customers with higher profit margins. We also offer a variety of cost-saving CTP + consumables bundle contracts, and flexible financing that ensures printers of all sizes have access to our products.”
