Talk from the Top Prepress

Though the shop created its own online file submission software for offset work, it uses EFI's Digital Storefront for ordering toner jobs.

"The most successful aspect of both our design and prepress services is the ease of the customer interface," says the director of Digital Publishing and Printing Services at the University of Wisconsin, which makes its debut this year in the Top 50's number 36 spot. "With such a diverse customer base on campus, making it easy for customers to get what they need easily and quickly has made our department succeed."
