DIGITAL bytes

LAVERGNE, TN—Lightning Source, a provider of print-on-demand publishing solutions to the book industry, reports it has teamed with IBM to complete a large-scale equipment upgrade at its print production operation here. The central component of this move to enhance print quality was upgrading to the IBM Infoprint 4100 line of digital printers, company management says. It expects the upgrade to produce crisper halftone images with improved definition, and the automated controls in the new line of printers to ensure sharper text print and consistent print quality from one book to the next.
