Hanover Park, Ill., February 28, 2018 – Fujifilm’s SUPERIA ZD no-process thermal plate technology doubles UV printing production at The Watkins Printing Company, a Columbus, Ohio-based print service provider.
Established in 1923, The Watkins Printing Company is well-known as a publication printer. This certified G7 Master Printer manages monthly and quarterly magazines for universities, fraternal organizations, honor societies, niche publications and catalogs for clients in more than 20 states. Their services also include prepress, pressroom, binding and mailing, all within their expansive 65,000 square foot facility. The Watkins Printing Company is celebrating 95 years in 2018, Tamara Watkins Green, president and third generation, is proud to be an integral part of this family-owned organization, started by her grandfather. The company includes her husband William Green, VP strategic partnerships; and fourth generation Emily and Brock, Tamara and William’s adult children.
Having converted to Fujifilm’s SUPERIA ZD no-process plate less than one year ago, The Watkins Printing Company is already experiencing a positive impact to their bottom line.
“With regard to chemicals, labor, and water, we are saving upwards of twelve thousand dollars thus far with SUPERIA ZD,” said Watkins Green. “Our cost has greatly diminished per plate because we don’t process them; and the water savings is significant.”
