Imran Fancy, owner of Specialized Marking System, commented: ‘The Digital Pro field upgrade could not have come at a better time for our business. Our current Digital One is at full capacity, and we wanted a solution that gave us more capacity along with cost savings. The upgrade completely fit our needs, the 70 percent increase in speed and 30 percent lower cost to print gives us even more ability to say yes to our current and new customers' needs.’

Digital Pro is the latest hybrid product line from Mark Andy and comes to market with two models, the roll-to-roll Digital Pro 1 and the advanced in-line converting Digital Pro 3 – available with semi-rotary die-cutting. Through a field upgrade program, select Digital Pro machine benefits are available to Digital One customers, enabling Specialized Marking Systems to print at speeds of 77 ft/min, increase capacity, and reduce its cost to print.  

The decision to upgrade to the Digital Pro engine came after a successful 18 months with the Digital One. Within six months of owning the press, Specialized Marking Systems was able to completely fill one shift on the digital hybrid press without making a single sales call, according to the company.
