Digital Presses--Making the Grade

All are termed digital presses, yet the three classes function differently while still delivering on the concept and vision of print-on-demand. Printing systems and related software technologies from a virtual Who's Who of printing powers proliferate the digital press movement: Agfa, Canon, BARCO Graphics, Heidelberg, IBM, Indigo, Minolta, Omnitrade, Ricoh, Scitex/KBA-Planeta, most recently Screen, T/R Systems, Xeikon, Xerox and other star pupils are among the ranks.
