Intranets--Inside Connection

When electronic jobs enter the Toronto sales office, technical staff preflight the files before sending them to the Creo Trendsetter, a CTP platesetter, via ISDN. A Polaroid DryJet, located at the Toronto office, provides digital proofing.

Top Line hopes to implement a similar workflow—using either a router system or Wam!Net services—at a recently acquired four-color sheetfed printing company in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Once in place, the network will allow the Florida facility to transfer preflighted files electronically to the Trendsetter in Mississauga. The Canadian operation will then produce the plates CTP and ship them back to the Sunshine State.
