CTP FIELD REPORTS -- Set to Compete

All Service Graphics is a sheetfed printer with 24 employees. It produces a range of work, from annual reports down to technical manuals, Gust says. The shop's new platesetter supports its full pressroom lineup, from a two-color Heidelberg Quickmaster duplicator up to a six-color, 40˝ Speedmaster.

The printer had previously been outputting imposed film flats on an eight-up imagesetter, so it was familiar with the requirements of a digital workflow, the owner says. "We were looking to compress the time line on jobs even further," he notes. "Being able to go from approval to plate in 20 minutes is astounding."
