Pennsylvania College of Technology Boosts Quality in Output and Education with New KODAK Digital Printing Systems
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 8-Two new KODAK Digital Printing Systems at Pennsylvania College of Technology provide hands on training for students and high quality output for users of the school's in-plant print shop. The print shop at Penn College now includes a KODAK NEXPRESS 2100 Plus Digital Production Color Press and KODAK DIGIMASTER EX125 Digital Production System.
"Our students are more marketable if they are trained on the latest digital technologies and applications. The NEXPRESS Press is ideal for training our students and produces high quality work for our customers," said Joseph Geffre, Director of Mail and Document Services, Shipping and Receiving, Pennsylvania College of Technology. "We were attracted to the variable data capabilities of the NEXPRESS Press and also the fifth color unit, which allows for a larger range of PANTONE® Color matching and more versatility than just CMYK."

With more than 6,500 students enrolled in bachelor's degree, associate degree and certificate majors, Penn College has the second highest enrollment in the Penn State system.

"As the college's in house printing shop, we continually look for new ways to improve efficiency while producing institutional materials like course packs, hand outs and syllabus documents. We've found excellent speed with the DIGIMASTER System, allowing us to produce more materials in shorter period of time," said Geffre.
