Day with a Pro: Dick Marsel, Printing Manager, Quad/Graphics

Side Benefit to Digital Workflow

“I would say the biggest change in technology in printing in the last three years is CTP, and the digital environment, which eliminated film,” says Marsel.

Besides allowing much more leeway for last-minute changes on press, a digital workflow also addresses another concern: confidentiality of materials. Though it’s an open plant for Quad’s customers, notes Marsel, “It’s all digital, it’s all kept under secure conditions in the imaging department; no other client can walk in and read [another’s] file.”
