Frankowski also claims that the CTP systems were designed for heavy-duty manufacturing, feeding the presses like a pipeline. Driving everything from archiving to platemaking, the CTP software ran off of a single-server platform. Quad decided to change that.

"We unbundled all the software, and put it across an environment of several pod servers that enable us to do many different functions on jobs across a wide platform," Frankowski explains. "That addressed the productivity issue."
