Digital Color Presses: If Only They Had Known...
Have you gotten the type of work and the volumes that you expected?
Smith: We got more work than we had expected. We began to find applications for digital that we had not thought of or marketed toward. The press brought us more short-run color work than we had predicted, and it took less work from our offset area than we had expected. We actually began to get jobs we would not have received before the digital press was installed. That said, it takes quite a volume of work to pay for the press.
