CIP3?The Task of Automating Print

For Scholin Brothers, CIP3 seemed the first, most logical step toward computer-to-plate.

The $13 million printer didn't want to jump into an expensive CTP situation before getting up to speed with a digital workflow, making possible a future move into another, more digital domain.

Familiar with Scitex output equipment, Scholin Brothers was eager to be a CIP3 beta facility for the technology manufacturer. "The move to CTP is being made due, in part, to our move to a CIP3 workflow," Wellman states. "Before you go out and purchase all the equipment, all the updates, it makes sense to prepare the workflow."
