SCREENING SYSTEMS -- Spotting an Opportunity

Since the software upgrade for its RIP was still in development, Rink has only used the screening system with plates supplied by Fujifilm, points out Mike Rink, company president and CEO. Its first "live" jobs included two brochures and a Christmas card.

Rink says his company was tapped to print the Co-Rés jobs because of its pressroom capabilities and relative proximity to Fujifilm's U.S. headquarters. "We're a high-quality printer that does a lot of short-run agency work," he explains. "Fuji knew we had good process control in place, including fingerprinting our presses." The sheetfed shop's pressroom arsenal includes a five-color, 40˝ Heidelberg with coater and two (40˝ and 28˝) six-color Komori Lithrones.
