PDF Workflows

During 1998, it became clear that it was time for Photo Comp to evolve to new levels of prepress performance—combining PDF with CTP. During 1998, Photo Comp implemented an Agfa Avantra 30 imagesetter, an Agfa Galileo digital platesetter and Agfa Apogee PDF-based workflow. Photo Comp executives wanted to introduce and maximize a PDF-based workflow and use that PDF workflow to improve turnaround times and streamline prepress production at the $3 million operation.
