Numbers don’t lie, so it was an easy choice to pick the employee of the Month for October 2021, Julio Mendez.
Julio started working for JP Graphics in November of 2015 when we were adding our Xerox 1000i. When we added the HP Indigo 10000 (Series 4) Digital Press, Julio became instrumental in our success of high-production digital printing. The addition of the HP caused our digital production to rise to over 60% of all print sales.
We created an entire room for the HP, which Julio affectionately calls the BEAST. When we added more packaging, the tides turned back, and we currently have a comfortable 50-50 mix of digital to offset printing.
The month of October, proved to be incredible with over 700K color impressions and 250K Black and White impressions. Julio was beyond busy. With over 10-million impressions this year, Julio is up 58% from last year! Julio’s ranking as a HP Series 4 operator is beyond reproach. All counted matrixes are up, from volume, to press availability, to low technical issues. However, the one that is most impressive results is his supplies ranking. Thanks to Julio’s proficiency at the machine and our use of GPA stocks, Julio is at 124%! This means he has very little waste and uses the needed supplies to the fullest. HP loves him too!
