Digital Prepress--The Need to Diversify

In November 1998, an Agfa Chromapress 32i joined the prepress firm. John Matyasik, the company's founder, was convinced digital printing was right for his business. Today, the Chromapress accounts for 20 percent of the company's work.

"The move to digital printing is the big picture move for many prepress providers," says Matyasik. "Diversify, with digital, or die—that seems the reality most digital prepress firms must contend with as the necessity for digital prepress operations evolves with the times."
