Kratz says the Xerox machine has turned out to be ideal for her shop because it handles short-run, on-demand jobs rapidly.

"It just RIPs so quickly," she says. "And being able to clean up the pages and make editing adjustments is also very important."

Kratz says she opted for the DocuTech because the 10-employee in-plant has had a long-running relationship with Xerox. The shop had considered a Heidelberg 9110, but Kratz explains that at the time she was looking for this equipment (almost two years ago), she felt the German company was still a little new to the high-speed digital game.
