The North Carolina Justice Academy is seeking to establish a five-year equipment lease for a Mimaki UCJV330-160 printer/cutter, an AeroCut X finishing system, and a Bubble-Free Pro Table Applicator for use in the NCJA print shop. The leased equipment will be utilized by print shop staff to support academy-wide printing, graphics, and finishing needs. The purpose of this procurement is to modernize and expand the print shop’s in-house production capabilities by improving print quality, increasing efficiency, reducing turnaround times, and minimizing reliance on outsourced printing services.
• The equipment will support the production of books, brochures, pamphlets, business cards, posters, signage, banners, labels, stickers, and other academy-related materials.
• Leasing this equipment for a five-year term will improve workflow automation, enhance finishing accuracy, reduce manual labor, and increase the print shop’s ability to produce professional-quality color and specialty print products in-house.
• Required functions include high-resolution color printing, integrated print-and-cut capabilities, automated cutting, creasing, perforating, laminating, and mounting for a wide range of print media.
