EPG Helps Western Web Thrive on a Healthy Dose of Short Runs
In addition, the EPG systems allow the company to cut paper waste by half. “People today are extremely cost-conscious, but they still want quality,” says Jackson. “The solution is found at the point where the customer’s desire to save money and improved web-printing quality intersect. Our EPG KeyColor equipment allows us to do short-run work and focus our attention on helping the traditional sheetfed customer migrate to high-quality web printing.”
Western Web, founded in 2010, has its roots in a local-newspaper publishing business that was started in 2005. When that business closed in 2008 under the strain of the economic downturn, Jackson took the helm and refocused the company on increasing the number of short runs, which ultimately had a significant impact on its bottom line.
