Marketing Science—an exclusive event for Shawmut's community of marketers, designers and print professionals will be held Thursday October 6th at the company's Danvers, MA location. The event will provides attendees with insights into the cognitive and behavioral reasons buyers respond to marketing messages. Marketing Science will include three educational sessions led by industry experts covering topics related to print, design and direct mail. Marketing Science also offers attendees an opportunity to network with peers facing similar challenges, connect with industry partners and vendors, and see some of the latest print equipment on the market. This includes the new Komori G40, which Shawmut purchased earlier this year. The new offset press is the ultimate high performance printing machine providing Shawmut clients with unsurpassed quality in the shortest time possible. As one of only a few printers in New England to invest in the Komori G40, Shawmut is excited about the new opportunities this press offers its clients including: • Faster turnaround time with 2-sided printing and UV inks that dry instantly • Increased color vibrancy and greater resistance to smudging • The ability to print on a wider range of substrates including plastics • Lower environmental impact "Our new offset press proactively responds to increasing demand from customers and the need for faster turnaround times," said Michael Peluso, president of Shawmut Communications Group. Unlike conventional presses, the G40 uses H-UV ink technology which dries instantly—eliminating the need for coating and reducing the overall production time. The Komori G40, which prints up to 16,000 sheets per hour, will reduce makeready time by 45% and paper waste by 55%. On average this will save 750,000 sheets of paper or approximately 1,000 trees per year. In addition H-UV inks lower emissions, energy and ink consumption furthering Shawmut's commitment to environmentally- "The G40 is a game changer. Not only does it shorten production time but it opens up new creative possibilities for our clients using UV inks and coatings that create outstanding visual effects," adds Michael Peluso. "We are really excited to show our clients what this press can do and the opportunity to share some great educational content and tools they can use in their day-to-day." The Komori G40 is one of six new pieces of equipment Shawmut has added since the fall of 2015. The company continues to invest in new technology and equipment furthering its vast array of capabilities. In addition to the H-UV press, Shawmut has added a high speed, high volume black and white printing solution, new bindery equipment, a four-color envelope press and a specialty coating machine.
