Garlich Printing--Lights! Camera! CTP!

At the core of its PostScript-based prepress environment is a Xinet FullPress OPI and file-serving system. Eleven G4 Mac workstations running three shifts drive Garlich's three eight-up Creo output engines—a Trendsetter 3244F, a Trendsetter Spectrum and a Proofsetter Spectrum.

Although Garlich Printing produces no film, Vice President Don Hockenbury, head of production, explains that it can accept furnished film and incorporate it into its PostScript environment via a Purup-Eskofot EskoScan 2024 copydot scanner. With a DS digital drum scanner, Imation Digital Laser Matchprint and DuPont Thermal Dylux proofing systems, the company closes the digital "loop," he reports.
