COMPUTER-TO-PLATE -- CTP Editions

"Our Waterloo, WI, plant is running 90+ percent of its work computer-to-plate," the division manager says. "Its customers primarily are very large, sophisticated publishers of national titles, such as Time, Business Week and Computer World. These were some of the first publishers pushing to go CTP.

"Our Strasburg, VA, facility, which has its own prepress operation, is running about 75 percent CTP work. It prints some national titles, but does a lot more regional and medium-sized publications," he continues.
