Thriving in the DESERT
Before getting the iGen3, the in-plant was using a Xerox-branded direct imaging offset press, which used Presstek imaging technology on an Adast press. The main drawback, Conrad says, other than plate costs, was the difficulty switching quickly from job to job, something the iGen3 does easily.
Publications/Media Support isn’t completely out of the offset business, though. It still uses a Heidelberg MO press, mainly to produce oversize art prints depicting ATK weapon and space systems. This aerospace art is created by in-house technical artist Mark Waki, whose work has won many awards. Prints are given out at trade shows the company attends.
