Scanning The Future

According to Heidelberg, the market for scanners has experienced a downturn in recent years, with declines as great as 20 percent in 2001 alone, depending on market and product.

"This move is a timely response to the changing needs and trends in the market," says Bernhard Schreier, CEO of Heidelberg Druckmaschinen. "We will be focusing our prepress business on workflow software and plate imaging."
