Foster City, Calif. – EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that Kingery Printing Company has chosen to upgrade its EFI Monarch print management system and purchased additional modules to further increase productivity.
 
Kingery Printing, a family-owned and operated company founded in 1968 by John and Dolores Kingery, is a full-service commercial printer located in Effingham, Ill.  They operate a broad range of 4- up to 10-color press equipment, including variable data, sheet-fed and heatset-web, with the ability to aqueous or UV coat. Besides printing, Kingery provides a full-range of pre-press, bindery, direct mail and distribution services, including saddle/perfect binding, selective binding, inside-outside inkjetting, polybagging, die-cutting and foil stamping.
 
An EFI Hagen user since 1986, Kingery Printing recently decided to upgrade their EFI Monarch system – a flexible, powerful, intelligent, and automated print management solution. And, plans are underway to install Monarch Planner, the Pre-Press Module which provides integration with Kodak Prinergy, PrintFlow dynamic scheduling, and EFI PrinterSite Internal to automate the request for quote process.
 
"Due to our broad range of offerings within one facility, we needed a software package capable of serving our growing needs," said Tom Kingery, president of Kingery Printing. "We evaluated several options and decided to remain with EFI because they have the best package available in the market. And, we are looking forward to gaining greater automation and efficiency once the upgrades and the software additions are installed and EFI's training is complete."
