Plotting Along

Ian Hole, market and business development manager for BARCO, implies that the software and workflow revolution has reached standard procedure status. "Imagesetter technology is ripe, so faster RIPping has become something the industry expects and relies upon, as well as the collection of data and ability to change it, without any time penalty, just as you RIP," he comments. "Advanced screening, dot gain compensation control and quality shaped dots have become the norm for BARCO output, whether you are going to flexo or offset."
