“I want it done yesterday—or sooner!” Sound familiar? We know it does. The demands on commercial printers are increasingly tighter in an unforgiving marketplace. Customer knowledge of the processes has increased. Turn around times are tighter. Quality has to be there. Run lengths may be shorter yet more frequent. And the files you receive and process have to be prepared to your specifications or it’s a no go from the get go.

The Graphic Arts Training and Consulting Group (GATC) assists sheetfed, web and digital printers in meeting the demands of the marketplace.
