BLANKS COLOR IMAGING -- Digital World

Blanks kept a close eye on the market, and finally decided to make the move when he heard about the merger of Creo and Scitex, and saw their work with KPG.

"They put the best of all possible worlds together," he adds. "We were already a big Scitex and Kodak Polychrome Graphics user. We use both Kodak Approval Classics and two Approval XP4s, and we still have a lot of prepress work that has to be proofed for web printing outside of the building. So we needed our XP4s for those accounts, as well as to integrate them into the printing environment. And we only wanted one CTP unit. All in all, our new system has really been a great blend of equipment."
