Press release from the issuing company

Danvers, Mass. – TECHKON – the innovation leader in high-precision color measurement solutions for the global print and packaging communities – announces a multi-product installation with Carter Printing Company, headquartered in Richmond, VA. This installation represents a significant investment by Carter in pressroom automation technology designed to decrease waste and increase efficiency. The full suite solution at Carter includes the installation of 3 ink presetting systems, multiple handheld Spectro-Densitometers, and the Techkon PressLink Closed Loop Color System on its 56” Mitsubishi press.

With a goal of standardizing processes across all presses and shifts at Carter Printing Company, the full suite of Techkon products were a clear choice for both Mike Herndon, Pressroom Manager, and Daniel Hutton, Internal Special Projects and Sales Manager. Techkon’s integrated G7 functionality, ease of instrument use, product line consistency, and responsiveness were all contributing factors to Carter’s ultimate decision.

“We are extremely pleased with the Techkon products and the service we have received, and have already seen great improvements in our color consistency,” states Daniel Hutton. The team at Carter also sees the reporting functionality of the Techkon products as an extremely valuable tool. They are eager to use reporting both internally for trouble shooting, management training, and ongoing education as well as externally to provide scan history to customers proving that entire jobs were run with accurate color.
