Talk from the Top Prepress

"We had to have something fast enough to meet our overnight legislative needs," says Patton. After all, you can't upset the folks that hold the purse strings and expect to stay in business long.

Patton has also added a CD replicator to her shop's prepress department and includes a copy of the budget on disk with the printed version. This lets recipients of the budget view the material directly on their computers instead of having to wade through thousands of pages to find the tidbit they need.
