Currie and HP Indigo go back to school at RMIT
The gift of a new HP Indigo and a four-colour Shinohara press almost bowled over Robert Black, principal of the graphic arts college.
It’s not every day that a school gets over a million dollars worth of the latest printing technology but David Currie took the opportunity at PacPrint. Celebrating his company’s 60th anniversary and its long-term association with the printing college, he put together a special gift to mark the occasion.
Leaving it to Steve Donegal, HP Indigo Asia Pacific, and Phil Rennell, digital manager Currie Group to do the honours, he has made it possible for RMIT to remain at the cutting edge of technology. The ceremony in front of a large audience came after a marvellous set by songster, Russell Morris, from the back of the Currie Colour Express truck.
Illustrating all that is best and generous in the industry, the donation is the latest in a long tradition of equipment and consumables support that the family-owned supplier has contributed over its 60 years. It is a tradition that Donegal (pictured on left with Robert Black and Phil Rennell) was pleased to join in on behalf of the IT giant.
He said it was an investment in the future of the industry, highlighting how important it is for large corporations to play their part in ensuring the continuing supply of well educated graphic arts professionals.
As far as Robert Black was concerned the magnitude of the gift was almost overwhelming. He made the point that RMIT could only exist through the support of industry suppliers such as Currie Group and HP.
He was effusive in his thanks to David Currie for his personal involvement over the years.
