Industry Publications and Print Providers Agree—Versant Delivers a Competitive Advantage

“This press has it all-maximizing automation when printing brochures, improving print quality to a new level and setting color easily between jobs with virtually no human hand.” Daniel Pelikán Pelikán Daniel (Pardubice, Czech Republic)
“The truth is this press is a money maker and, to boot, my staff tells me it is a pleasure to operate.” Dennis Beck Minuteman Press (North Palm Beach, FL)
“It's the Swiss army knife of cut-sheet presses. Being able to offer full bleeds and square folds inline is a great advantage. Jobs that had previously touched multiple departments can now be done in one pass." Tim Sellers Printegra (Fairport, NY)
“Last month, we installed our third Versant." Jamie Gilbert Hickling & Squires (Nottingham, UK)
