Press    Processes,    Continued Electronic digitization Electronic digitization and laser technology are replacing chemical-dependant printing  and  photographic  processes.  In  addition  to  high-end  copier  options, these  copier-printers  incorporate  servers  to  interface  with  microcomputers, scanners, and disk drives to accept electronic data from remote work stations. They  allow  you  to  edit,  move,  cut,  paste,  scan,  merge  files,  create  instant halftones  from  continuous  tone  masters,  and  enhance  photography.  These electronic copier-printers and digital duplicators have a signature setup and a bypass feature to eject jobs from the machine for traditional bindery operations.  Some  machines  have  collators,  folders,  stitchers,  and  trimmers to  produce  quality  bindery  in  the  finishing  operation.  Job  orders  are  also  part of  the  electronic  programming  feature  of  the  machine.  This  new  generation of printing technology allows total electronic prepress preparation of documents.  Electronic  printing  equipment  has  excellent  resolution  of  600 dots per inch (DPI) and 1 GB (gigabyte) of memory. Scan rate is 20 plus documents per minute and press speeds exceed 135 pages per minute (PPM). This future generation of printing presses may be more in the domain of the Lithographer's Mate and isolated to a few ships and stations who can afford this costly machinery, but you should aggressively seek and learn it’s processes. 1-7
