PrismTech Graphics goes small to gain big results with Colter & Peterson's reconditioned paper cutter

Three thousand miles separate the two companies, but a conversation at a Las Vegas trade show last October brought the principals at PrismTech Graphics and Colter & Peterson together to solve an important issue. Paul Milburn annually upgrades his equipment and he was in the market for a paper cutter to join the 57" POLAR machine in his shop. A conversation with Bruce Peterson led to a deal for a 30" reconditioned POLAR cutter that is getting a workout every day since being installed late last year.
