Xenith does work just fine with JDF however the press purchase would not have been my first choice there are many other areas that amount of money could go to help utilize the work flow we have now and inhance out quality and turn around time
when i first started here 7 years ago I was fresh out of college and this shop had Two computers thats it only five years ago we started using preps four years ago xitron and just two years ago CTP prior to that we hand striped all the film we still paste up our own shoppers' guide and shoot it on a vert camera
Right now we are 20 -25 employees in the entire shop and running two workflows some old jobs are still conventional while most (not all) new jobs are Digital
The amount for a NEW Heidelberg could have been spread around to update a whole lot more Like Color mgnt. or press operator training (last year we aquired our first 4 color press) we don't have press men we just have operators.(We now have 2 single color, 2 Two color, one 4/c, and a Goss Web. I think Jezza said it best "It's an ideal and it may well work, but not for another ten years at the best." "Don't hold your breath."
