The World of Wide-web
April 1, 2000

Package printers are finding faster options in the wide-web market, allowing for more jobs to go the wide-route. By: Chris Bauer THE SLOW SET-UP of wide-web presses has long been a thorn in the heel of printers faced with short-run jobs. And in this day of print-on-demand, just-in-time delivery, and more personalized jobs, that thorn is digging deeper into shops that are trying to meet these demands while still needing to turn a profit. To bring some relief to printers in this position, vendors have been working to reduce make-ready times and the labor involved in setting up the press. Tom Jacques, marketing strategist
