PRESS RELEASE

Prominent Local Print Company Expands their Web Capabilities

November 30, 2006 – Rockland, MA - Universal Graphix, the largest independently owned printer in New England, announced today their intention to acquire two (2) new web presses.

These new offset presses will be added to their already extensive web capabilities to deliver cost-effective high-end print solutions with faster, more convenient turnaround.

Universal plans to add a new Harris M300 8-color, full size web press and a Hantscho 4 color, full size heat set press to their already impressive web department.

“Our decision to add these web presses, supports our commitment to drastically increase our web production capability,” states William Fitzgerald, President and CEO of Universal Graphix. “ They will allow us to better meet the needs to our client base, specifically those clients that produce larger high-end four-color inserts and direct marketing mailers.”

These new acquisitions, the 4-color Hantscho and the 8-color Harris are being delivered with extremely versatile “in-line finishing” capabilities. The new presses will help cut lead times and deliver more “press product”. The 8 color Harris comes equipped with a technologically advanced “closed loop” front end resulting in faster make readys and less spoilage.

The 4-color Hantscho will be online by early January and the 8-color Harris will be operational by mid-May.
The new additions are expected to increase the existing production capacity by more than double while allowing Universal to process larger and more complex web printing projects for its clients.
