The New Print Production Mantra: Unified Offset/Digital Workflow

And integrate he did. Cordova acquired a Presstek Vector TX52 platemaker to replace his previous three platemaking systems and front-ended it with a Presstek Facet RIP, co-developed by EFI and Presstek and based on an EFI Fiery workflow. Now Cordova manages his entire shop—offset and digital—from one interface. From the time the job comes in the door through customer pay-ment, the team at Kwik Kopy has complete transparency across its multivendor installation of offset, digital, finishing and business systems. Not only does this allow him to better manage the flow of work through his shop, it has enabled him to, in effect, eliminate an entire headcount. What’s more, he says, “We had an employee voluntarily leave, and now we have the luxury of either not replacing him, or replacing that headcount with a different position that will benefit the organization in new and different ways as we continue to grow the business.”
