End-to-End Production Workflow Demo'd at Graph Expo

The good news about Graph Expo 2008 (October 26-29) is that it’s all there—everything for 21st-century graphic communications under one roof at Chicago’s McCormick Place.

The flip side of the news is that the roof covers an area of 450,000 sq. ft. packed with the wares of more than 600 exhibitors—an array of products far too large for anyone to cover in just a handful of days.

The best news is that one location—xpedx booth 654—offers a full spectrum of solutions in a well-ordered presentation of a fully functioning, end-to-end production workflow. What it contains could only have been assembled by North America’s largest supplier of printing paper, supplies, services, and printing equipment—the one-stop source for the best of everything that Graph Expo has to offer.

“When someone is spending $1 million or more on a press,” says John Torrey, vice president and general manager of xpedx® Printing Technologies, “he wants perfection. He expects that press to turn everything that walks in the front door into gold. When it doesn’t, he is sorely disappointed.”

Another market reality is that Ryobi is a major player in this category. And that’s exactly what visitors to xpedx booth 654 at Graph Expo 2008 will find—a builder of rock-solid, ultra-reliable presses that print in many colors with the quality that the most demanding jobs require.

xpedx Keeps Promise to Deliver Total Digital Solutions

As printers prepare to seek new business-building solutions at Graph Expo 2008, they are well aware that theirs is a mature market where economic conditions are challenging and where future growth, on the whole, will be modest. To be sure, solid opportunities still exist on the conventional side, but the strongest growth in pages, sales, and profits will occur in digital printing.

Naturally, many conventional printing businesses want to stake their claim by establishing digital printing divisions of their own. But, because there are so many options for going digital, developing a strategy and selecting the right mix of systems and equipment can be intimidating steps to take.
