CTP Experiences--Digital Devotees

Cavanah also likes the fact that he doesn't have to deal with the chemicals and chemical disposal that come with using film. "I'm in love with the fact that there's no chemistry with the [Presstek] Anthem plate."

Craig Yolitz, director of press and prepress operations for the West Group in Eagan, MN, also likes not having to pay for, or image, film, nor cope with the required chemical and toxic waste associated with film. His list of benefits also includes higher print quality and better registration. He says that better registration on-press has transcended beyond the pressroom. "The consistent placing of the image on the page also helps reduce time and waste in the binding and finishing departments."
