Optimize Your Workflow
While newspapers have similar requirements to each other, and perhaps many commercial printers also have similar requirements to each other, the needs of in-plants are usually very different from one another. By its nature, an in-plant is designed to support the needs of the organization it services. These needs can vary widely from place to place. Some in-plants have very similar requirements to those of a mid-size commercial printer; however, all too often in-plants have a large assortment of machines and processes, including offset presses, banks of sheet- and roll-fed digital machines, wide-format devices and an abundance of finishing options.
