(Milwaukie, Ore.) – EMCO Print and Mail is a leading provider of commercial print and mailing services to the greater Portland metro, Oregon, and Southwest Washington regions for over 30 years. They recently added a new Kodak Nexfinity digital press to their growing family of print production equipment.

This expansion of capabilities allows the EMCO team to continue to produce and mail high quality postcards, envelopes, commercial print and short run books and catalog materials for the local market. With digital advertising showing lower reach and challenges, the viability of printed communications has grown in several business segments and key to EMCO’s year over year growth and ultimately influenced their investments into the future.

“With Nexfinity, we can do more of what we do best even better,” shared Steve Folkestad, EMCO Owner and CEO. “We have more capacity to print envelopes, postcards, brochures, and poster-size products. Enhancements can be easily added to any design. With our new press and addition of other new technologies, the possibilities are nearly limitless—come see for yourself!”

Nexfinity is a digital press that mirrors the quality, strength, and speed of an offset press while offering significantly more benefits than its digital peers. Here are some of the high-level benefits which drove EMCO to purchase this specific equipment.

Cost control
Unique effects and surface finishes are delivered in line for maximum productivity, which lessens the need for expensive specialty paper.
Same-edge perfecting reduces bindery waste and reprints.
Because Nexfinity runs standard commercial offset paper, we can eliminate the need for special digital papers, which can drive costs up by 10% or more.

Next-gen quality
Nexfinity has the highest density levels per pixel for more fine-tuning, detail, and smoothing than other solutions.
The machine’s LED writing heads are more reliable than laser-based systems, allowing us to optimize quality across a wide range of jobs.
Dynamic Imaging Technology automatically optimizes images in real-time, giving you better control of dot sharpness for offset-class quality over long runs.

Superior creativity
Nexfinity offers a suite of 12 specialty inks and surface finishes that can transform your brand on paper: Dimensional. Gold. Metallic clear. Opaque white. Light black. Clear watermarks. Color gamut expansion. Antimicrobial coating. Virtually invisible inks for security applications.
The press handles the widest range of substrates on the market—8,000 and counting!
