RPL Graphics--The New Breed of Printing Company

The front-end also boasts a new 18x25˝ Agfa Avantra 25 imagesetter, a six-color Epson ink-jet digital proofer and an in-house Pressmatch system for analog proofs.

"Eighty-five to 90 percent of our accounts are electronic," says Ken Karimi, prepress manager. "We're almost out of the hard-copy era."

RPL was an AlphaGraphics franchise until late 1997, when Linden took it independent. Linden, a veteran of over 40 years in the industry, recognized that he could grow his business by offering the broadest possible range of services, including commercial color printing, technical documentation, data management services and on-demand black-and-white output.
