Spreading The Faith

"Accuracy and speed were our biggest concerns," states Parise. "So we looked for an imagesetter offering superior capabilities in both areas. We also wanted an imagesetter reliable enough to withstand a heavy workload." The KnockOut 4550 was the answer to his prayers.

The in-plant installed the imagesetter about a year ago. "The KnockOut's built-in punches provides the accuracy we were looking for, and the software RIP was fast enough and powerful enough to handle our projects without a problem," says Parise. "In addition, the imagesetter's size and capstan design lets us vary the length of the film to meet our specific needs, which we couldn't do with a drum recorder."
