Faust Printing--Delivering the Impossible

The competition received more than 5,600 entries from around the world, 100 of which fell into the same general category as did Faust's entry, which was a poster featuring an artist's palette, paints and brushes. The poster—printed on Faust's six-color MAN Roland 700 sheetfed press with coater, using Kodak Polychrome Graphics digital plates that were imaged on a Creo thermal platesetter—made its first public appearance last May at the Gutenberg Show in Long Beach, CA. At that time, Beta Industries used the poster to demonstrate its Video Halftone Analyzer, which magnifies to a power of 800x, for enlarging and analyzing four-color process dot structures.
