TECHNOLOGY MOVING AWAY FROM PLATES FOR SHORT RUN PRINTING
User experiance:
TIGARD, OREGON -- "No time for traditions! The Northwest's first and only ON-DEMAND print service provider,Advanced Digital Imaging, is quickly reshaping printing as we know it. ADI, a product of the "new breed" manufacturing model called On-Demand Printing, has taken Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing to new heights...leaving behind the past printing traditions of wasted time, money and materials by applying the latest digital manufacturing technology in short-run
printing, finishing, and distribution.
....
Other customers find that short-run digital printing fits their business needs like a glove, Williams says. "Short-run color pieces
are becoming a visual aid to ordering and creating a new niche among companies that market to consumers." ADI prides itself on flexibility. "Customers are looking for a flexible vendor to give them a one-stop solution for producing their printed products. Whether it's one-color product sheets or four-color catalogs, they prefer to deal with as few vendors as possible and still get the product delivered yesterday. No one can do this better than us," Michalisko says. "The Indigo fits perfectly into our business plan, our niche. We can take any desktop file, MacintoshT or WindowsT, AND PRINT IT WITH OFFSET QUALITY IN MINUTES. If it isn't just what the customer wants, THEY ARE NOT THROWING AWAY $500 OF FILM AND PLATES....-- we just open the file,
make the correction and WHAM -- we are back on press.
