Controlling Digital Interests

Miles Kimball supplies pages as Quark application files, which Perry Judd’s converts to Post Script and RIPs for CTP output. In a CTP workflow, application files can be problematic, in part because they are editable. “We had discussions [with Perry Judd’s] about sending encapsulated files as PDFs or PostScript, but, with all the revisions of RIP software we’ve seen recently, we thought it was a function better handled by the printer,” Niemuth comments. “So, for now, we’re sending Quark files with documentation. We will revisit the issue, however.”
