Johnson reports Bowne has seen advantages on two fronts from adopting CTP. "In the prepress area, it has simplified the process and reduced the time from composing to the pressroom," he explains. "In the pressroom, makeready time—even on the web presses—has been reduced and so has paper waste." Quebecor World's Ryan has a similar take on the technology's benefits. "Our thought pattern going into CTP was that it would just provide cost savings in the pressroom, not in prepress," he says. "But we've found we're also enjoying savings in prepress because of the workflow improvements and shorter cycle time." Other users zeroed in on the pressroom benefits. The speed of turnaround with CTP cannot be overstated, Mahaffey's Wall says. "Faster makeready, better registration, the things people have been saying for years are all true," he reports.
