Epson America, Long Beach, CA, reports that SnugZ USA has installed two seven-color Epson SurePress L-4033AW digital inkjet label presses for printing customized labels, personal care products, and dome stickers. Darren Massey, director of operations at SnugZ says, "We had been looking to print cleaner files with higher details for our customers, and in looking to acquire new digital label presses, the Epson SurePress stood out, as it had the finest detail of any available press. Both being able to print white ink and producing much cleaner and clearer fine detail has been very positive for us and our distributors." SnugZ also installed three Epson SureColor F-Series dye-sublimation printers to produce lanyards with consistent color. "We chose the F-Series because we felt it was the best dye-sublimation printer available, and since purchasing three of them, we are so impressed with the colors and have not been disappointed," said Massey.

Talk To Me
 During a recent road trip to my husband's hometown in Jamestown, NY, we couldn't resist paying a visit to nearby Celoron to see the "scary" statue of Lucille Ball that made national news for its unflattering depiction of the beloved star. Now there is even a Facebook page called We Love Lucy! Get Rid of this Statue. So, what do you think? Do you see a resemblance? You can write to me at chine@pffc-online.com. -- Claudia
