Electronic Prepress Growing

More than three quarters of in-plants are handling design and layout, according to our recent electronic prepress survey. That's up from 65 percent two and a half years ago.

This was just one of the facts uncovered by our survey, conducted via our Web site and filled out by 91 in-plant managers. Respondents also revealed that the majority of jobs (82.3%) are sent to the in-plant digitally, PDF has edged out PostScript as a workflow choice, and computer-to-plate equipment is in use by more than half of them.
