Rex Printing Company, Inc.

Rex Printing Company, Inc. is a leading commercial printer in the Philippines, primarily serving the education and publishing markets. Founded in 1973 as part of the Rex Group of Companies, the business plays an important role in producing books and other learning materials, with deep roots in educational publishing in the Philippines that date back to the 1950s. Rex Printing is driven by a mission to nurture lifelong learning and support education across the country.

Rex Printing manages demanding production schedules and seasonal peaks tied to textbook demand, which requires dependable technology and stable production workflows to consistently deliver high-quality printed materials on time. For more than a decade, the company has relied on Kodak solutions to support its prepress and printing operations.

Rex Printing faced several operational challenges that impacted production efficiency and consistency. Maintaining reliable consumables stock availability was critical, particularly during peak textbook production seasons during which the slightest interruption can delay delivery schedules and affect customer commitments.

Alongside these operational inefficiencies, the company also experienced color management challenges such as inconsistencies across long print runs. Maintaining precise and repeatable color quality was essential to ensuring product standards and preserving consistency across educational materials and published products.

Rex Printing also sought stronger technical support and faster service responsiveness. The company needed a partner capable of delivering high-performance technology as well as dependable support and proactive service.

Rex Printing overcame these operational risks with an investment in the latest Kodak print solutions, including four KODAK TRENDSETTER Platesetters, which replaced older CTP systems and have provided Rex Printing with the latest technological improvements, such as increased throughput and higher uptime; KODAK PRINERGY Workflow; KODAK ELECTRA XD Plates and KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates.

Opting for Kodak solutions ensured the reliable and consistent availability of plates and consumables that is so crucial to Rex Printing’s success. Kodak workflow also helped boost print consistency and color control.

In addition to the technology itself, Kodak’s technical support and preventive maintenance team have helped Rex Printing minimize downtime and maintain efficient production operations.

"Rex Printing prefers Kodak solutions because the CTP system is highly reliable, with excellent dot reproduction and less downtime compared to other brands," said Ms. Flordeliza Cruz. "The quality of Kodak printing plates is more precise and consistent, ensuring stable color control throughout production."

Kodak has supported Rex Printing’s operations for more than ten years. Today, the company meets and exceeds expectations during peak textbook production periods while maintaining consistent standards across educational and publishing applications. Reliable consumables supply, reduced downtime, and responsive technical support have helped Rex Printing improve productivity and meet customer demand with confidence.

The long-term partnership between Rex Printing and Kodak goes beyond technological performance. Throughout this time, Kodak has provided Rex Printing with the high-quality, dependable technical support that is needed to consistently deliver educational publishing of the highest standard.
