CTP FIELD REPORTS -- Set to Compete

Considering the shop had been working in a direct-to-film environment, Gust was surprised by the extent of the learning curve it had to master in going CTP. "We chose the Nexus workflow from Artwork Systems. Learning to use the tools to the fullest extent takes time, even for a seasoned prepress manager. We really didn't buy the workflow and platesetter as a package, but they work together. Once everything was ironed out, I was very glad we made the move to CTP. We can get up to register on-press in 50 sheets, compared to 300 or 400 sheets."
