Midway to the Digital Age
When I say relatively, I mean that PDF was also a slow transition, and many customers, and particularly vendors, fought the change. Because of the ease of use and success, many independent prep houses could no longer bill for system work, RIP and trap, etc.
For us, Prinergy, an end-to-end workflow management solution developed by Creo, changed all that, opening the doors for PDF. While still a proprietary, expensive workflow solution for us, it was designed around the Acrobat PDF package, and added auto-trap and single-page, post-imposition functionality. It revolutionized the prepress process and made digital workflow as error free and consistent (if not more) as our conventional workflow, and it added efficiency and profitability back into the equation.
