A More Intimate ACUP
Issues that came up from the audience included the PDF converting capabilities of systems, whether adding an online ordering system might help a shop reduce its head count (one manager said it did) and the security of internal data when systems are hosted on vendors' servers.
Another roundtable featured eight managers talking about the pros and cons of the digital printing equipment they use, which included not only Xerox iGen4, Kodak NexPress and HP Indigo presses, but machines from Canon and Konica Minolta as well. The consensus was that, despite some startup issues, the move to digital printing has been a wise one.
