Building Digital Bridges

Acting as a full-service prepress provider, Quad’s digital imaging facility backs up Fingerhut’s corporately owned prepress shop by scanning and converting transparencies to digital form and reformatting digital images for print and Web output, as well as page creation.

With several print production partners all interacting to create Fingerhut’s catalogs, communication between publisher, prepress firms, photography studio and printer became vital. To help facilitate communication, T1 lines were installed to allow for electronic data exchange between the key players.
