New Added DutiesEditor:
Congratulations, Roger, on your new added duties of directing custom publishing and special projects [page 21]. I am sure that your work days will be more than full in 2004. —Ted Ringman JTRing1998@aol.com
Editorial Connections At On Demand EventEditor:
It was great to see you in New York City at the On Demand show in March and to talk about business conditions in our industry.
As I mentioned, I really do get more useful information from Graphic Arts Monthly than any other industry publication or research resource. I think very highly of your magazine.
And yes, I do carry two types of business cards, one that reads "Graphic Arts Industry" and another that reads "Graphic Communications Industry," the latter that I distribute when I'm with a group interested in media communications. —Thomas D. Wetjen, Vice President, World Wide Graphic Arts Industry, Xerox Corporation, Webster, N.Y.
Editor:
After seeing you at the On Demand show, I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell you that I rely on Graphic Arts Monthly more than any other magazine for credible, useful information about the printing industry, trends in technology, and what printers can and should be doing to make their businesses a success.
Keep up the good work. —William Martin, Document Solutions Consultant Global Document Solutions Xerographic Reproduction Center, Inc. New York, N.Y.
Screening for 74 KaratEditor:
As a printing salesman, I found your January cover story titled "Stoked on Stochastic" [by project editor Joann Strashun Whitcher] quite interesting. The presses we use at present include a 74 Karat from KBA and several HP Indigo 3000 digital systems.
Would you be able to tell me what additional software screening technologies exist that are usable on the 74 Karat? I would appreciate any information. —Steve Dobkowski, Red Door Digital Offset Printing, 7500 Oakland, Detroit, Mich.
KBA reports that it is planning to introduce a one-bit TIFF upgrade for its 74 Karat press at Drupa 2004. In the meantime, for information about screening software, KBA advises you to contact Creo, which provides the Karat imagers.
