Operation Digital Output

How digital does Keane want Mod-Pac to go? The folding carton converter is working to be fully CIP3 compliant (see CIP3 Refresher sidebar, this page), sporting CPC32 functionality from Heidelberg, which gives Mod-Pac a digital interface between the prepress and press departments.

"We are moving to an all-digital workflow, with perhaps the final piece of our puzzle being the installation of our Creo Spectrum digital proofer," Keane reports. "With shortening cycle times, increased production pressures and remarkable achievements in digital technologies designed to address both concerns, the logical move for any packaging environment is in a digital direction."
