Small- & Medium-Format Sheetfeds — Small Presses, Tall Orders

Black-and-White Issues
Meanwhile, Dennis James, manager of press planning and management for ABDick, says he sees the small sheetfed market in a state of decline for black-and-white and spot color applications.

“More printers are studying the quality needed to satisfy their customers, whether it is conventional offset or digital printers,” James maintains. “Four-color process continues to grow and there is migration to automation within press capabilities. Overall, conventional offset with digital prepress continues to make good economic sense.”
