SCI doubles printed pages by developing proprietary applications for publishers with HP Indigo and HP Inkjet Web Presses

"The HP Inkjet Web Presses are at least two years ahead of the competition in terms of speed, performance and quality. The average print run is more personalized and much smaller than ever before. More and more runs fall below 10,000 pages and that is where the HP Inkjet Web Press really dominates, and that threshold for crossover between digital and offset is rising all the time in favor of digital."
-- Burt Scherman, CEO, Strategic Content Imaging
