Marrs Printing graduates Eagle Systems cold foil certification program

Founded in 1972, Marrs is a family owned and operated service provider located in City of Industry, California. The ECFC is a comprehensive eight-hour program, is geared toward improving production understanding and techniques of press operators, and also incorporates the executive management level.

The course is conducted at the user’s 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’s system. The press is then finite-tweaked to maximize performance out of each operation’s adhesives, foils and blankets. One of the end results is the elimination of former process obstacles, such as pin-holing and mud cracking.

Scott Marrs, Marrs Print and Packaging VP said: ‘We first installed an Eco-Eagle cold foil system on our manroland 700 40-inch six-color UV-equipped press in April 2012. The year celebrated our 40th anniversary in the printing industry and we were eager to mark the occasion by offering our customers something that no one else could. Installing our Eagle system provided the answer to those needs by delivering faster turnaround, reduced costs, and an environmentally-friendly solution.’

‘Four years ago Eagle president Mike King told us his machine would do everything he said it would do or our money back. That was what sealed the deal for us and he was true to his word,’ Marrs continued. ‘When Mike approached us earlier this year we were only too eager to hear about their new education program. Cold foil has been a major success for us and this certification program promises to take our expertise and understanding to a whole new level.’
