University of Arkansas Reinvigorates its Prepress Operation
A year or so ago, things were not looking so good for the in-plant at the University of Arkansas. Though the shop had added a Xerox iGen3 in 2006, its offset operation was a little behind the times.
The in-plant still ran film on an imagesetter, and its old Iris proofer was slow and not very color accurate. As a result, it was nearly impossible to give customers the colors and the quality they wanted. Add to this the financial difficulties brought about by the recession, and it seemed like decision time was at hand for the Fayetteville-based in-plant.
