How Camera Makers are Getting their Design Groove On
October 1, 2012

A decade ago, a cataclysm rocked the photography business as digital image sensors replaced fim. It turns out that was just the beginning.

At the Photokina show, it was clear a second wave of change is sweeping through the industry. Cameras produced during the first digital photography revolution looked and worked very similarly to their film precursors, but now designers have begun liberating them from the old constraints.

Success with Crossover Color: Streamlining digital and offset technologies
September 25, 2012

Recognizing that digital printing has become a mainstream technology, offset printers are increasingly adding digital capabilities to their repertoire of offerings. In some shops, short-run jobs are run entirely on digital presses. Some do short-runs on a digital device and a longer runs of the same job on a offset machine. Others combine variable content digital pages with those from an offset press in the same job.

In each case, colors have to match and the overall look and feel of the document must meet customers' requirements with minimal differences. This webinar will discuss how printers are successfully using the best features of both technologies AND managing color across offset and digital presses.
 
Our expert panelists will share their experiences on such key issues as:

  • Ensuring jobs run on different devices look the same
  • Managing paper selections
  • Setting customer expectations
  • Color management tools and profiles used for success
  • Managing color for logos and other branding requirements

Expert Tips on Building an In-Plant Workflow
September 19, 2012

The typical in-plant print operation doesn't have the "luxuries" enjoyed by most commercial print shops.

On top of that, in-plant managers face stringent financial constraints when seeking improvements.

In this webinar, in-plant managers from three different companies discuss key issues such as tuning shop capabilities to company needs, new equipment and software selection and cost-justifying technology investments.

View this hour-long session for expert advice about:
* selecting the best equipment for your needs
* revising shop layouts to reduce bottlenecks
* increasing automation to improve efficiency
* and the steps you need to take to increase the value your shop offers the company.
