Faust Printing--Delivering the Impossible

The images for the dynamic poster were placed and PostScripted from QuarkXpress, and impositioned using Preps technology. The file was then RIPed using Creo's Allegro unit. (Faust technicians spent a great deal of time modifying and testing RIP settings to create the 1,110.8-line screen.)

To proof the poster, Faust imaged the job at a 676-line screen on Polaroid DryTech film and used its 3M Matchprint proofer to complete the proofing process. Its Creo Trendsetter was then recalibrated to optimize the sharpness of the dot. Then the poster was imaged using Kodak Polychrome Graphics' 2919 Series thermal plates.
