One on One — Ulrik Nygaard on Finishing

What have been the most striking changes in finishing? How much has the automation revolution affected the postpress department?

I think there has been a very significant change toward more operator friendly machines, in the direction of semi-automatic and to fully automated machines, and of course JDF is the next step. I think that is driven, in large part, by the fact that it has become more and more difficult for our customers and users of the equipment to find skilled labor. They are looking for machines that are more operator friendly, easier to set up and more productive.
