US Ink Introduces New Press Doctor® 2006 CD
Carlstadt, NJ
- August 12, 2005 -- US Ink, the industry leader in the development and production of ink servicing the newspaper and commercial coldset printing industries, has announced the release of the latest edition of Press Doctor. Press Doctor 2006 has been enhanced in important areas and is even more comprehensive as a trouble-shooting guide for coldset web printers.
Advertisers and readers have greater print quality expectations from printers today as color capacity has exponentially increased. "Meeting or exceeding these expectations requires life long learning of evolving technology associated with coldset web printing," explains US Ink's VP of Operations Larry Lepore.
Described by Dennis Cheeseman, US Ink's Director of Customer Service, as a "coldset printer's bible", Press Doctor 2006 is over 1000 pages of technical solutions to virtually every aspect of the printing process. "We've taken the best of our research and technology, combined it with the best practices of our customer base, and created an interactive CD that can make any pressroom run more smoothly and efficiently."
