Image Group invests in technology

The Image Group is the only printing company in the area with a fully computerized six-color offset press. This state-of-the-art press prints up to six colors at one time and operates at a 13,000-sheets-per-hour capacity. “By investing in high technology equipment, The Image Group can provide its customers with faster service and high quality printing,” stated Vice President Jerry Ganshorn who founded the company in 1969.

Beyond these projects, the town board of trustees will work on expanding the town’s limits. “There’s a desire to annex areas into the town limits,” noted Myron Clark, board president. “Plans are being prepared for some annexation down the road.” Another goal is getting a light industrial park started. The town has the property on the north side of Epworth Forest Road, north of town. Even though there’s a desire to bring in new industry, Clark mentioned, “We want to maintain the atmosphere and integrity of a resort area.” Work is still on hold for the town’s public beach, as the weather has not cooperated. An extension on a grant to install the beach was given for this year. Clark noted a thaw came in mid-January, just as the ice was heavy enough to hold the large trucks. It is

ing. On less advanced presses, the operator must shut down the press and make the adjustments manually which is timeconsuming and expensive. The Microcolor system maintains color quality throughout the production run, resulting in tighter registration and clear, crisp images. After a job is completed, the ink settings are stored in the computer memory. This saves time on repeat jobs and ensures accurate duplication on reprints. An automatic washup feature saves time and labor between jobs and gets customers’ orders on the press sooner. Ganshorn points out, “The company is also devoted to providing high quality oneand two-color printing as well as fine color lithography.” The company also recently installed a high speed digital facsimile machine (FAX)
