"Consolidated Graphics always thinks of our customers' needs first when investing in new technology," said Ric Davis, Executive Vice President, Purchasing and Operations for Consolidated Graphics. "Our customers have found that grand format printed material is an effective and increasingly popular way to make a big impression and build awareness for their brands at the national, regional and local levels."
"Very few companies can offer what CGX can in color consistency at multiple locations across the U.S. We can print a customer's product simultaneously in multiple locations and can get the product to market faster, while reducing shipping costs," added Davis.

Currently Consolidated Graphics has nine large/grand format printing installations across the country. These locations share best practices with each other, creating a uniform consistency throughout all large/grand format-printing projects.
