LPi Sets Record-Breaking Week: 42.1 Million Pages Printed!

December 18, 2024

We have some incredible news to share — recently, our production teams achieved a record-breaking milestone, printing an astonishing 42.1 million pages in a single week! This achievement surpasses last year’s holiday record of 39.2 million pages, representing a remarkable 7.4% increase.

Ken Hause, Operations Director, shared his pride in the team’s accomplishment:

“This reflects the incredible hard work and dedication you all bring to the table. Your hard work, collaboration, and commitment continue to drive us forward, one page at a time.”

The record-breaking numbers highlight the exceptional teamwork across all six production facilities.

Joe Luedtke, CEO, weighed in on this historic achievement, emphasizing how it reaffirms the vitality of print:

“Occasionally, you hear that statement, ‘print is dead.’ Nope! Our customers, through their actions, are telling us the exact opposite. Last week, we printed more pages than ever before in LPi’s history. It wasn’t easy — it took a lot of late-night work and weekend work — but you did it. Thank you for serving our customers so well!”

This milestone is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and collaboration of every team member at LPi. Congratulations to everyone on the production team — your efforts continue to make LPi shine!

LPi’s Las Vegas Press Receives Major Upgrade

December 23, 2024

LPi has upgraded our Las Vegas HP printing press from a T230 to T240. What does that mean for LPI? The T230 press was almost at the end of its life. Some parts were going to be obsolete in 2025, and so to stay current, we needed to print faster. With the new T240 press, we now have the most current operating system available. We can run up to 500 feet per minute (previously 400 feet), which means that our ability to print 25% faster will help ensure we meet tight deadlines for our customers. It took about two months of planning to make this upgrade happen. HP has a project manager, and Louie Elahi played that role internally — lots of work was done before they arrived. We discovered that we needed to have additional power for the new dryers on the press to dry the paper at the faster speeds, so we upgraded our venting system to account for the extra exhaust. We also developed an internal plan to move the jobs from Las Vegas to Dallas, which handled much of Las Vegas's workload during the upgrade. Additionally, we redistributed some tasks to Milwaukee. Thanks to our IT team’s expertise, we successfully automated the transfer of jobs between Las Vegas and Dallas, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Great job, IT team! Prepress and the press teams monitored the work every day to make sure everything was getting printed, and we didn’t miss any jobs or deadlines. With all that extra work going to Dallas, we needed an additional night shift for both weeks. We had four volunteers from Las Vegas go to Dallas for the two weeks while the Las Vegas press was down. We would like to give a huge thanks to Katie, Zach, Anthony, and Celia for stepping up to help us. Also, a big thanks to Doug and his team in Dallas for welcoming and helping them get acclimated to the Dallas plant. Everyone did an incredible job!
