Driving The Digital Route

As a result, the in-plant now has two digital workflows. Customers submit files via disk or by sending them to the file transfer protocol (FTP) server. From there, jobs are generally routed toward a high-resolution Scitex imagesetter that outputs plastic plates for use in single-color work, or film for the production of metal plates on multi-color work. The color jobs are then printed on one of the shop's multi-color offset presses—either a six-color Heidelberg 102 or a five-color MAN Miller TP95. Direct-to-plate jobs are produced on a two-color Miller TP95 perfector. Jobs can alternatively be sent to one of the shop's DocuTechs or to a Xerox Regal for color copying.
