NEC Expands into New York Market

The Cranford facility offers a full range of prepress services, including digital ad capabilities—a priority for NEC, which is investing more than $1 million in a new digital network to expand the facility's digital ad handling capabilities. NEC is also developing a Cranford training center.

"Our objective in developing a training center is to bring advertising and magazine people out to learn the digital ad process and allow them to get hands-on experience doing it," observes Flatt. "We are all comfortable with four or five pieces of film and an analog proof; we went through that with desktop publishing. Now, we have to establish this with digital advertising."
