NEWS UPDATE Companies from around the world are uncovering the tremendous efficiency, versatility, and potential of inkjet web press technology. Here are some recent examples of innovative installations.

Best known as America's Association Printer, the Eau Claire, WI-based company provides conference materials, continuing education/training manuals, and marketing brochures to various association and continuing education groups in 36 states. The new HP T200 extends the company's current digital portfolio that also includes an HP Indigo 7500 Digital Press. "The past couple of years have been difficult for the printing industry, and we see digital printing as the future in terms of economies of scale, cost, and quality," said Roy Fuerstenberg, president and CEO, Documation. "We purchased the HP T200 to expand our services and to meet the increasing demand for custom black-and-white and color books and manuals so our customers, in turn, can provide greater value to their members and students."
