Penn College Boosts Output and Education Quality with Kodak Digital Systems

ROCHESTER, N.Y.—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.”

Penn College is a special mission affiliate of Penn State University committed to applied technology education. With more than 6,500 students enrolled in bachelor’s degree, associate degree, and certificate programs, Penn College has the second highest enrollment in the Penn State system. The Print Shop works as an in-plant shop, providing printed material to the campus. It also provides instruction in graphics arts, including hands on printing initiatives.

“As the college’s in-house printing shop, we continually look for new ways to improve efficiency while producing institutional materials like course packs, handouts 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.
