PDF Workflows

The appeal of the file format for DeHart and his prepress team is PDF's true device independence, page independence and cross-platform support for a more streamlined, time-efficient CTP environment.

While PostScript had been the format of record for many of the prepress tasks executed at DeHart Printing, DeHart and Mark Huiskens, preflight manager, and Mike Strauss, preflight engineer, discovered that incorporating PDF into their existing workflow resulted in time savings and an increase in overall efficiency—predominantly for the company's black-and-white, on-demand digital printing applications done through the Xerox DigiPath workflow.
