Printing Secrets At The CIA

IPS's six designers are located in the CIA's main building. They use both Macs and PCs to design jobs for publications and for the Web.

From there, jobs go to the prepress department, which handles preflighting, checks for fonts, converts RGB to CMYK and sends work to the two Creo (Scitex) Dolev imagesetters. Barbaris says IPS is looking into computer-to-plate devices and is currently doing a cost-benefit analysis.
