Distribute-and-Print--Linking Presses to Profits

To change all that, in addition to PrintCast, many initiatives are currently under way to develop distributed printing solutions, ranging from loose confederacies of independent printers to global solutions developed by systems manufacturers.

Time to talk to Heidelberg.

Recently, Heidelberg teamed with Adobe, WAM!NET and CAPPS Studio/Leo Burnett in a series of seminars to conduct live demonstrations of remote printing technology. For the exercise, a digitally developed brochure was produced in Chicago, then electronically distributed to two separate Quickmaster DI press installations for on-demand printing. Heidelberg Technology Centers in Kennesaw, GA, and Mt. Prospect, IL, served both as remote printing sites and the venues for the events.
