Expanding the Sheetfed Operation?More Than the Metal

Carqueville Printing of Streamwood, IL, is one such digitally minded sheetfed printer looking to make the move to CTP. Jim Ericksen, prepress manager at Carqueville Graphics, explains: "We have invested a substantial amount of time researching CTP and a total digital workflow. In our search we have gleaned many attractive reasons for investing in CTP. The obvious reasons would be the elimination of several existing variables, such as film processing, film exposure and changes in film sensitivity, all of which will affect dot gain and color control.
