CTP Comes to Ole Miss
Plus, the in-plant no longer needs to store film from old jobs. Seaman plans to get rid of all of it.
The CTP unit, Seaman says, should have a return on investment time of about 21⁄2 years.
The new Xitron Navigator GPS RIP and workflow is a big improvement, Seaman adds. The shop can now make hot folders, which saves a lot of time. Plus, now the same RIPed file can be sent to both the proofer and the CTP; the job is essentially put on hold while the client approves the proof, and then the file is sent to the platesetter. The in-plant now has a PDF workflow and no longer has to make separated PostScript files.
