Creative Financing Brings CTP to Riverside

After 18 months of effort, the in-plant installed the Fuji DART system last summer.

“We’ve been able to save an enormous amount of time in prepress,” Finner says. But that’s not all that was saved. In addition to eliminating film, the CTP system uses processless plates, allowing the in-plant to get rid of chemicals. This fit in perfectly with the new VOC standards mandated by California’s Air Quality Management District, as well as the school’s own desire to “go green.” The shop also switched to low-VOC solvents and alcohol-free fountain solution, and set up a paper recycling program.
