DRUPA 2000
The Promise: Millennium Blow-Out Event
The Reality:Technological Disappointment
![Page 4: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Digitization of Print
• Global information transfer makes print truly global.
• Technology is shrink-wrapped and universal, expensive and competitive.
• The printing press is just another office machine.
• Distinction between processes are blurring.• Distribution cost is determining factor.
10 Years Into the Program
![Page 5: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Digitization of Print
![Page 6: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Digitization of PrepressComputer-to-Plate Disadvantages
• For smaller printers, there’s no true labor savings
• Startup cost: Minimum $600,000 to $1.2 million– Cost doesn’t reflect required redundancy
• Ongoing maintenance: Minimum $72,000/year
![Page 7: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Digitization of PrepressComputer-to-Plate Advantages
• Improved registration, consistency– No dirt
• Enhanced flexibility and speed– Clients can submit files later
• Reduced press down time/waste

Digital Plate Production vs.Press Down Time
Shown in Percentages
2,000/day = 700,000/year80 bad plates/day = $$$$

The Digitization of PrepressComputer-to-Plate Advantages
20 – 20 – 20• 20 percent reduction of cycle time
per year, per year, per year
• “Every monthly produced like a weekly; every weekly produced like a daily.”

Prepress Advancements Stochastic Screening
• Screenless – No film– No rosetta pattern
• Improved resolution– 360 line screen vs. 133– Better quality and appearance
• Barrier to introduction: Press chemistry

Closed-Loop Color Control
The Revolution
“God makes no two trees alike.”
![Page 13: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Even though solid ink densities may be in tolerance, shifts in the CMY color balance of images can significantly affect their appearance.
Critical Balance
![Page 14: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Color Control System• Automatically identifies and corrects color
• Delivers higher color consistency and predictability
• Reduces makeready time, paper waste
• Statistical data reporting capabilities
• Color info is fed back to Imaging for improving subsequent jobs

So What Does It All Mean?
• Color is predictable, repeatable, less variable• The color you approve on proof is the color you see on press• Digital measurement of optical characteristics means
accurate color can be replicated in publisher’s office (vs. press side)
• One color okay does it all!– Color can be replicated across multiple presses anywhere
throughout the world

Forecast for the Future
• Less run waste• Quicker makereadies and less
makeready waste• Improved consistency and color quality
![Page 36: FIPP 2001 New Technologies Helping to Print Magazines](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56812c23550346895d9089ec/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Think Out of the Box
• 15-minute plate changes• 1,000-sheet makereadies!• Less insert makeup and bindery slow-down• Move versioning back to the pressroom
