In the 2001 Digital Prepress Leaders ranking that appeared in GAM in September (page 87), Schawk, Inc., Des Plaines, Ill., was not listed. The company, whose president is David A. Schawk, billed $206 million in the most recent fiscal year, up about 12% from the previous year. This amount, wholly consisting of prepress services, would have placed Schawk in the No. 3 position in the national ranking.

The company, which performs no printing at all, offers virtually all prepress services, serving clients in the packaging field and in advertising agencies. It maintains 27 locations in Asia, Mexico, and North America; of these, three specialize in brand design and one each in information technology, large-format imaging, and high-end retouching.

Schawk's address on the Web is schawk.com.

In Lisa Leland's article on DI presses ("An Eye for DI," July 2001 issue, page 32), there is a photograph of Heidelberg's Quickmaster DI, which I am running, showing a dryer on the press. I am interested in adding a dryer to my QMDI. Can you supply me with information about the dryer or direct me to a source?
