CTP--New Tools, Old Theories

For a high-quality, fast-turnaround company, the value-added may come from first-time bids, sales, CSR and production. For one company, the value-added chain might be estimating, sales, CSR and production, with the value-added service being high quality. For another printer, who may accept finished film or "print-ready" digital files and create reprints, the value-added chain may be CSR, preflighting, manual stripping and printing, with the value-added service being "under one roof" convenience.
