LL Featured in New Video from
HP
In late March
several people from HP came by our facility to do some filming. They
wanted to create a promotional video featuring the HP-Indigo WS4500
digital label printing presses. We were very pleased with the
results, and it really focuses far more on Lightning Labels than it
does on HP. If you have a few minutes (it is just under five minutes
long) and want to see inside our label printing operation, we have
loaded this video on to our web site at:
www.lightninglabels.com/videos.htm.
New Finishing Equipment on
Order
In April we placed
an order for several pieces of new equipment from AB Graphic
International. They make what is called "finishing equipment" which
are die cutters, sheeters, and rewinders. We ordered five new pieces
of equipment including a state of the art Digicon 2 die cutter. We
expect to take delivery in late July or early August. This new
equipment will allow us to serve you better in a number of ways. We
will be able get orders through our plant faster, and die cutting
will be even more accurate than it is today.
LL President Scores a
Hole-in-One
In late February,
the owners of Lightning Labels (Steve Smith and Peter Renton) went
to the annual HP DSCOOP conference in San Diego. Like many of these
conferences it featured a golf tournamant, and this one was at the
storied Torrey Pines South Course, the site of this year’s US Open.
It is a spectacular course right on the ocean, and the number 11
hole is considered the most difficult par 3 on the course. Not for
our president Steve Smith. He walked away from it with an ace, his
first one ever.
