Making the Switch In Santa Fe
Over the past five years, the in-plant has gradually upgraded its digital color capabilities, moving from a Xerox DocuColor 40 to a 6060 and then to a 5000. It now runs two Xerox DocuColor 5000 digital presses, in addition to a Nuvera 120 and two Xerox 4100s.
The shop has five multi-color Heidelberg offset presses, but until recently it was using a stat camera and subcontracting its plates through an outside vendor. Needless to say, that setup had its limitations. When Mesch brought in the chemistry-free Kodak Magnus CTP system in the fall, everything changed.
