Re-vamped Heartland Print Center to Host Open House

After several weeks, we are finally close to having the Print Center re-tooled. Thank you very much for your patience during this transition period. We know that this has been a learning experience for all of us.

To thank you and to welcome the new members of the Xerox team, we’d like to invite staff members to stop by the new Print Center for some refreshments, to see the new equipment and to introduce yourselves to our Xerox Corporation Client Associates: Donie Short, Paul Lauritsen and Gail Schulze.

Print Center Open House
(Located in the old computer lab)
Thursday, June 25
2:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Most of the new printing equipment has been installed and is up and running, but a piece of bindery equipment is still on its way. The binder will enable us to produce yearbooks for schools at a much-reduced price.

The new Print Center offers many other printing options and services that we weren’t able to provide before the re-tooling such as full-color newsletters, flashcards, posters and boxes. The new iGen4 provides color that is the best in the world. Our new Center truly represents our core value of “cutting-edge.”

In the next couple of months, we will be implementing a new online print ordering system called WebCRD. It has been installed, and in the next couple of weeks we will begin a pilot with 4-5 employees to determine if any bugs need to be worked out of the system. We do plan on training all secretaries and clerks on the new system in July. Much of the training for the rest of the staff will be available online and will be self-directed. We hope to have all schools on the system before winter break.

The WebCRD system works much like Amazon.com. You will have a login that will keep your documents available for review allowing you to re-order quickly in the future, you will also get an estimate and will be able to proof your work. This will expedite printing and reduce errors. If you have any questions or comments about the new Print Center, please e-mail Brenda Gustafson at bgustafson@aea11.k12.ia.us.
