Offset Printing in the Modern World
In this short-run era, where a third of all jobs have run lengths of just 250 sheets, how are sheetfed offset presses faring? Industry observer Frank Romano offers his view.
Sheetfed Benchmarking Study
The PIA/GATF 2006 sheetfed benchmarking study showed a significant improvement over a similar comparison in 1998, but the variation across participants was unexpected. Each of the 40 participants had the option of receiving a CD of the test image either as a PDF or as Adobe InDesign file, and a press sheet to match. Eight out of 10 chose PDF, with the remaining two taking the native files.
Frank Romano is Professor Emeritus at RIT School of Media Sciences.
