Founded in 1973, Newton, Ill.-based Total Printing Systems initially specialized in general commercial printing but migrated toward governmental publications. Today, Total Printing Systems is a driving force in digital book manufacturing.

"We print well over 30 million black-and-white impressions and 700,000 color impressions per month," said Rick Lindemann, vice president of operations. "Some of the black-and-white work will transition to the Truepress Jet520 to give our customers higher print quality. As for color interiors, we conservatively estimate that the number of impressions will increase to 2 million within nine months."

The Truepress Jet520 full-color inkjet web press is enjoying considerable success in the book printing segment of the printing industry.

"The products we focus on are mainly short-run to medium-run book publishing in the range of 50 to 5,000 copies," Lindemann said. "Most toner-based systems become too expensive above 200 copies, and offset becomes too expensive when printing fewer than 3,000 copies. The Truepress Jet520 is ideal for jobs ranging from 100 to 3,000 copies. The fast job setup and ability of the Truepress Jet520 to print more jobs in less time will help us be more competitive on quantities as low as 25 copies."
