On-Demand Turns Full-Production Color

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
Although rumors had been circulating in the weeks leading to DRUPA 2000, it was still a bit of a shocker to see Barco Graphics launch a digital color press, with an interesting name to boot—the.factory (pronounced "the-dot-factory".)

Barco's target audience with the.factory may very well be the package printing and label manufacturing market, but any printing operation interested in high-speed, variable digital color printing on everything from uncoated papers to aluminum foils to vinyl might be interested in this new development from the makers of the FastRIP and VIPLine variable data technology.
