Greetings!
Believe it or not we are into the second quarter of 2010. I hope you have been enjoying our little e-mail newsletter so far. If you would like to see something special in one of our upcoming issues please drop us a line and let us know what you would like to see. |
| SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR KWIK KOPY | |
Tim's Crane was needed to lift the 23,000 lb piece of equipment | New Arrival
We had a special delivery on Monday, April 19. It would take more than a stork to make this special delivery, though. In fact we needed a crane; Tim's Crane of Charlottetown to be exact, had to be called in to deliver this
23,000 lb baby.
This special delivery is a "new-to-us" Heidelberg SM 74 2 colour press. "What does that mean?" you are probably asking. Previously, the largest sheet sizes we could run on our presses was 14" x 20". The last couple of months we have been able to run 19" x 25" with the recent purchase of Island Offset. This new press will allow us to print on a sheet up to 20" x 29"
"In order to stay competitive and continue to grow, we decided to invest in this newer press," commented Troy MacKenzie. "This is the largest sheet-fed press on P.E.I. and makes it very cost effective for us and our customers to tackle larger book runs, forms, and posters," added Shawn MacKenzie.
A technician from Heidelberg Canada will be on-site completing the install for several days before the press is fully operational. Jobs will be running through the machine as early as April 26. |
| WIDE FORMAT/TALL OPERATOR | |
 Meet James McNeill
It's almost fitting that the department at Kwik Kopy that prints everything on a large scale, also has the tallest employee. Standing almost 6'4" tall, James McNeill, often prints signs and banners that are taller than him!
James, a resident of Charlottetown, grew up in Summerside and is a graduate of the Holland College graphic design program. Before James joined Kwik Kopy, he gained a tremendous amount of experience at different organizations in the Maritimes where he was able to use his design skills while developing strong production skills.
One of his most memorable moments as a designer happened while working at Cow's. As he was walking through Canada's Wonderland in Toronto, he noticed a park visitor wearing one of his Cow's T-shirt designs just weeks after he had finished designing it.
"Working at Kwik Kopy I get the benefits of being able to design a project for a customer, and then jump right into the production of it," James said, "It's the best of both worlds for me."
If you are looking to print on a larger scale than you are used to, then you should give us a call. James and the rest of our print consultants will be glad to help put your BIG ideas into motion. |
