The expanded financial resources support purchases of prepress hardware, workflow systems, pressroom machinery and capital equipment for the bindery, mailroom and other production departments. SLP can customize a convenient financing program for products purchased directly from SLP and Strategic Alliance Partners, including CRON-ECRM, ECRM and Screen, as well as equipment acquired through third-party vendors.
