NEWSPAPER CTP — MAKING THE LATE EDITION

“These (platesetters) are quite a bit different than the image-setters,” Jarvis observes. “We had to learn to be more disciplined in maintaining them, which was a shortcoming on our end that we’ve had to work through.”

Another indication of the vitality of the newspaper CTP segment is new vendors entering the market. At least two companies are expanding beyond the commercial CTP segment by introducing new systems developed specifically for newspaper applications at IPEX 2006 and/or NEXPO 06.
