IMAGESETTING VS. PLATESETTING -- Setting the Pace

Press Factors

Getz Color Graphics in Lenexa, KS, has a similar story to Peczuh's. It, too, is a family owned business with half-size sheetfed printing capabilities. According to Todd Getz, prepress manager, moving up to a 40˝ press also factored into the shop's purchase of an imagesetter last spring. However, since management decided that purchase was still a couple years away, it opted for a four-up Agfa Phoenix 2250 imagesetter driven by an Apogee front end.
