The Format of Things to Come

Eric Hibbs, prepress manager for Sunshine Media in Tucson, says using PPF data from his Scitex InkPro system has had a significant impact on press productivity. "Our company specializes in very short runs of 3,000 or fewer. By sending PPFs to our Akiyama presses, we've cut the total number of pulls to get to color, and have shrunk makereadies enough to squeeze in another job on each press."
