The Sentinel iPro Has Been An Absolute Game Changer For Us

Stevens Point, WI —  In 2022, Spectra Print took delivery of a new Komori G40P 8-color press with a perfecter, UV drying system, coater and added the Sentinel iPro Ink Management System. The press quickly became the new company flagship handling the majority of Spectra Print's work.

Executive Vice President, Hans Hofmeister, says he is extremely satisfied with Sentinel and its positive impact on the business. "We are able to achieve far more accurate tracking of our ink usage than before. It saves us on ink costs offering better color consistency and waste reduction. Plus, our press operators can focus on other critical job functions besides keeping the fountains filled.”

Originally named Valley Sales Company, the company was founded in 1930 by Oscar Hofmeister who sold and distributed trading stamps. In 1958 Oscar's son Richard joined him in the business and the next year they installed their first "offset press" and Spectra Print was born. Richard's children, Eric, Heidi, and Hans have all joined the company and are providing the current leadership of the corporation.
