CIP3--Time to Celebrate?

Kevin Oakes, director of business development at MAN Roland, reports that his company's continuing support of CIP3 is stronger than ever. MAN Roland believes that the international open-architecture standards generated by CIP3 will provide the industry with a highly integrated workflow solution.

"Customers, many of whom are very CIP3 knowledgeable, see the advantages of CIP3 today in our House of Excellence," Oakes states. "At that facility (in Westmont, IL), we demonstrate how data can flow seamlessly through prepress operations to platesetting and, simultaneously, to fiber optic-based Roland 300, 700, and 900 presses."
