Sheetfed Presses--Big Performance, Small Packages

According to Ken Hilderhoff, vice president of sales and marketing for Diamond Press, customers are on the lookout for improved color reproduction, increased print speeds and automation.

"The future will force these small-format presses to operate with compatible software and interfaces with prepress systems," he points out. "The digital future is now. Eventually, the smaller shops will upgrade, as these devices become cheaper and much easier to operate."
