CTP FIELD REPORTS -- Set to Compete

Half of the printer's work is magazines, some with fairly long run lengths, and the other half is catalogs, some with very high page counts, the prepress exec says. In addition to the MAN Roland, the shop currently runs two other web presses—a 50˝ Heidelberg and 16-page Mitsubishi. It replaced two half-size web presses over the course of the four years, Long notes. "At one point, though, we were feeding four presses with four different plate sizes from the same platesetter."
