Dear Mr. Gamradt:
Here is the additional infomlation requested with respect to our tax abatement
request.
Listing of Equipment: I have included a new list with a copy of the specific invoices
for the first two items. You
have invoices for all items.
IRIS Proofing System
$75,440
Lotem Direct to Plate System
$\79,4\\
Heidelberg Spcedmastcr 74 Press
$785,000
Improof Proofer
$13,500
Muller Martini Stitcher
$119,20\
Heidelberg Model S Cylinder Press
$28,000
Total
$\ ,200,552
Environmental Im'p~~!atement: None of this equipment has any adverse impact on
the environment. Most of
the equipment upgrades current manufacturing processes. However, our new direct-to-plate
system
(Lotem/13risque) eliminates the film process, which reduces the use of water-based
chemicals and silver-based
film. This equipment therefore enhances our environmental contribution to the community.
In general,
commercial printing is a clean manufacturing business.
Please call me if you have any other additional questions.
Sincerely,
0/~--:/~'
