The Truth from the Trenches

 Ira Jackson, 

President, Perfect Image Printing

We improved our proof-to-press match. Our digital-to-litho match is better. With Nichols calibration skills and eye for color, we elevated the print quality of our sheetfed department. This was not a small incremental increase. Clients called to ask if we'd added a new press. I expected print quality to increase, but not to this degree.

Robert Parker, Prepress  Manager, BNP Print

Our company brought in Meredith from Nichols Associates, and we couldn’t be happier. Meredith's team solved issues with our Kodak Prinergy System that we couldn't resolve elsewhere. She created, set up, and trained us on Kodak Prinergy, ColorFlow, and Rules Based Automation. Meredith is easy to work with and has a lot of knowledge to offer.


Alexandra Paige, Q A Manager, The Lane Press 

I reached out to Meredith after attending her process control webinar and explained the task I'd taken on.  As soon as we started talking, I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone who loves printing and color as much as I do. Meredith’s vast knowledge and experience across every facet of the printing process have been an immeasurable resource to our company. Her personal support and encouragement have been even more remarkable.

In her own words

As Director of Technology and Color Management at Flagship Press in Massachusetts, Meredith Nichols led many innovative efforts to automate workflows and continuously improve the company's wide range of services. Now she is taking that expertise "on the road" with the launch of Nichols Associates. She explains it all in this video interview.

Client Success Story • Flagship Press

What They Think • January 9, 2023

Meredith Nichols, stated: “The proof is in the numbers. For Flagship Press, PRINERGY balances the playing field between the newest and most experienced operators. Experienced staff learned what they needed in less than three days. The previous workflow servers were unplugged within a month of the PRINERGY installation, eliminating duplicated server and licensing costs. Some of the staff already had experience with Kodak solutions from previous jobs, leading to rapid acceptance. Everyone was involved from the start, contributing to the definition of rules for the workflow. Everyone had ownership, removing the fear of the unknown.”
