Client Testimonials

Being a high end commercial printer that is used to taking on new ventures,
we thought that we would have no problem conquering the world of UV. Even
with the hours of preparation and seminars that we attended, we found out
quickly how much we had to learn. We called in Darren to reassure that we
would get off to a good start in our new world of UV. What I found out was
that Darren brought great knowledge of UV printing to the table along with
the communication skills necessary to work well with our press crews. I
feel Darren had a great impact on getting us started with UV printing and I
would recommend him to any printing company looking for a consultant in any
aspect of the pressroom.
Sincerely,

Darren is one of those rare individuals we all want on our team: competent, passionate, professional, and able to empathize with the business owner and their goals for their operation . . . he has developed a well-rounded perspective that is unique in our business, especially among service representatives. In applying his knowledge, he has earned the respect of both the production and management sides of our business. I highly recommend Darren as a resource for any printing owner considering improvements or enhancements in their press room.

Looking to standardize your process or standard operating procedures? How about unbiased training for newer press crews? Maybe refresher training for more experienced press crews? Mod Pac used DG Print solutions 4 times during 2005. We were very pleased with the services provided. Five full days of basic or advanced training based on our needs. We covered everything we needed to get all our crews doing set-ups, wash-ups, repairs and maintenance in the same way. We covered everything from the feeder, in-feed, roller setting, air controls, heater setting and delivery. Not to mention CP 2000, Axis Control, CPC 21 and CPC 24 instruction. I personally participated in 2 of the training sessions and found Darren to have a connection with the press crews and a smooth approach that reached all trainees, regardless of their skill set or knowledge base.
We look forward to training with DG Print Solutions in 2006.

Several years back I committed to initiating comprehensive press room training designed to improve the efficiency of our three six color 40” Heidelberg presses. I conferred with Heidelberg and they suggested that Darren Gapen design a program to address our needs. While here he took the time to learn, understand, and train each of our press crew employees. Soon after his training, we began to attain measurable results, which allowed us to update our operations standards and be more competitive in the market. I would recommend Darren Gapen and his services without hesitation.

Darren performed a general overview of our plant and personnel and completed a very extensive study of our operations to determine the most effective way to invest in growing our business. He interviewed managers and department heads to determine our personnel and equipment needs, and visited with leading equipment builders. Within a short period he had our press redesigned and built to meet our needs. Additionally, he saved ABOX over $150,000.00 in equipment we did not need. I know we will incorporate the services of D.G. Print Solutions again in the near future.

I would like to let you know how pleased we were with the training you provided on our Heidelberg CD 74 press. We appreciate the extra time you took to stay over each night and not rush out at 5:00 each day. We realize that even though there was a delay in being able to begin the training due to circumstances beyond our control, you were very understanding and offered to work in the evening and also on the weekend to make up lost time. Your knowledge in the overall aspect of the press, enabled you to find problems that existed, but may have gone unnoticed. We really appreciate all your time.
Thank You.
