CTP Technology Saving Money

"The DPM 2000 CPS has transformed our in-plant operation from top to bottom," raves Greg Lawrence, director of printing services. "It saves us time, labor and costs, and freed us from what I call the service bureau hostage factor."

Lawrence says the in-plant experienced an immediate impact after installing the new unit. A typical newsletter was taking the shop three to four days to complete when it outsourced for metal plates. Now the shop makes its own poly plates, cutting turnaround times to just one day. Costs have also been slashed, reportedly from $30,000, which the shop was paying in outsourcing costs, to less than $4,000 to make its own plates.
