Newspapers--The Front Page Goes Digital

ECRM's Eric Carlson, product marketing manager, casts his opinion on the digitally progressive newspaper market.

"Progressive newspapers today are looking at imagesetting systems capable of producing double-truck or panorama pages, page-pairing capabilities, faster throughput from the imagesetter and workflow solutions. In addition, more and more newspapers are increasing their use of color throughout the paper and, in some instances, taking on commercial work," Carlson reports. u Heidelberg's Ultre effort will show its new PostScript Level 3 RIP. Also on display: Ultre's best-selling four-up, CTP-capable 5800 imagesetter; 5400dri, bringing hard dot quality, simplified workflow and reduced costs; and the 5400 delivering professional quality with exceptional speed, repeatability and reliability. Complete workflow solutions include RIPs, imposition and trapping products.
