LOS ANGELES \u2013 November 1, 2016 — Eagle Systems, Inc., a U.S. based developer and manufacturer of foil enhancement equipment, today announced that D’Andrea Graphic Communications (dgc) has successfully completed their Eagle Cold Foil Certification Course (ECFC). The comprehensive 8-hour program is not only geared towards improving production understanding and techniques of press operators, but incorporates the executive management level, ensuring that each Eagle Cold Foil user garners both higher quality and greater ROI.<\/p>\n

The program\u2019s benefits are fully evident at dgc. Following the one-day program, conducted onsite on September 10th, dgc management realized an almost immediate efficiency boost. \u201cThey say you can\u2019t teach old dogs new tricks, but we were schooled by one of the most savvy and experienced teachers in the Cold Foil business,\u201d notes pressroom supervisor Gary Reyes. \u201cEagle president and CEO Mike King not only showed us several time-saving tricks, but he literally changed the way we start and finish each new cold foil job. It was a very rewarding investment for not just our press operators, but our management staff as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

A little over a month later, dgc has already realized measurable production rewards. \u201cFirst of all, make-ready is substantially faster and overall product quality is noticeably enhanced. Second, throughput has been accelerated by between 10% and 15% on cold foil projects. And third, we\u2019re experiencing about a 15% to 20% reduction in material use. This element alone has translated to $1000 to $2500 in additional profits, depending upon the job. The programs paid for itself in the first week. How many vendors tell you they\u2019re going to make you faster, better, and more profitable\u2026 and then do it? But that\u2019s we\u2019ve come to expect from Eagle Systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

D’Andrea Graphic Communications and Eagle<\/p>\n

Located in western Los Angeles on the coast, dgc is a 25-employee boutique print shop with an intimate connection to clients, offering unthinkably creative printing and marketing services. Though the company serves a growing international clientele, their focus is on the elite of Southern California, including large advertising and design agencies, entertainment companies, movie studios, record producers, DVD production and distribution firms, as well as major automobile marketers.<\/p>\n

In early December 2013, dgc installed an Eagle inline cold foil system on their eight-color 40\u201d Komori UV press, furthering dgc\u2019s investment in new technology. The Eagle system not only increased the services and solutions they offered to their clients, it enabled dgc to print a silver film material inline and overprint process and spot colors to achieve a full spectrum of true metallic colors.<\/p>\n

About the Course<\/p>\n

The course is conducted at the user\u2019s production facility to ensure all real-world factors and influences are incorporated. Eagle has designed a unique test form, designed for failure, to run off each applicant\u2019s system. The press is then finite-tweaked to maximize performance out of each operation\u2019s adhesives, foils and blankets. One of the end results is the elimination of former process obstacles, such as pin-holing and mud cracking. Regardless of the previous experience level, the ECFC will yield significant business and Cold Foil performance advancements.<\/p>\n
