Among the new equipment are the EFI VUTEK GS5000r and GS3200 grand-format printers, as well as the HP Scitex FB500 and Scitex LX800 large/grand equipment devices.
In a statement announcing CGX’s commitment to digital large/grand format, executive VP Ric Davis said, "Our customers have found that grand-format printed material is an effective and increasingly popular way to make a big impression and build awareness for their brands at the national, regional and local levels. "Very few companies can offer what CGX can in color consistency at multiple locations across the US.
CGX now has nine facilities that can handle large/grand format printing, including three on the west coast in Oregon and California, and two in the southern US in Tennessee and Kentucky. "We can print a customer's product simultaneously in multiple locations and can get the product to market faster, while reducing shipping costs," Davis noted.
One of the largest commercial printing companies in the US, CGX recently reported a decline in its first-quarter earnings despite a modest rise in revenues, which the company attributed to a decline in election-related printing and some one-off pension-related expenses.
