Green Button Technology in Print Finishing

Beginning in the mid-90s of the last century, digital technology changed the world and the printing industry along with it. This was a revolution indeed, as the devices employed by printers—while improved over time—had remained substantially unchanged over centuries.

In the late 20th century however, the digital revolution tore down everything within a couple of decades. If you were a cold type setter in 1980, you were working a Compugraphic phototypesetter in 1990 or not working at all. If you were a darkroom film stripper in 1980, you were learning color management software in 2000.
