Shedding 
A ‘Negative’ Attitude

Impressed with Presstek

In 2009, Lincoln found a shop that was looking to sell its two-color press, which included a Presstek Vector CTP system. He was duly impressed. The parties were unable to come to terms, though, so IDS sent out an information for bid (IFB) solicitation. Among the proposals: A two-color Presstek/ABDick 9995 with the chemistry-free Presstek Vector. The shop, which was already sold on the Vector solution, sent its stamp of approval for the Presstek bid to its purchasing department. The press package was formally approved by IDS' parent.
