KIRKWOOD PRINTING -- Energizing Color

Agfa's screening technologies were what initially led Kirkwood to investigate the CTP system, Monfette reveals. "The quality of the screening from our existing system was a concern at the time," he notes.

Since the printer is located relatively close to one of Agfa's facilities, it had been running some jobs for the manufacturer using supplied plates. "We were working with more of the R&D side of Agfa," the prepress director explains. "The company was testing screening technologies and other developments."
