Lindsay Yates is an award winning offset printing company in Sydney’s Artarmon. Steeped in the traditions of quality printing, this year it launched boldly into high-end digital production with the installation of a B2-size HP Indigo press. Now industry members can see for themselves how the integration went and hear how offset and digital can work side-by-side.
Getting digital to successfully work alongside established offset p=workflows and production practices has been the defining characteristic of commercial printing for the past decade. Sometimes established offset printers find it harder than digital start-ups to come to grips with the new paradigm.
The Lindsay Yates Group, whose motto is Tradition meets the modern world, is a well-known Sydney offset and digital printer, which runs Heidelberg
A1 and A2 offset presses and a range of digital presses. These now include a HP Indigo 10000 to assist with offset migration in the short run space.
A comprehensive bindery and finishing department has always been a feature of LYG, which has also implemented a massive workflow upgrade with Apogee JDF Data Exchange from its Tharsten MIS. The aim is to drive short run jobs through at high volume.
