AMERICAN PRINTER news, events, and information on next month's issue

Arandell goes with the process flow ...
Editor Katherine O’Brien and managing editor Denise Kapel recently toured Arandell Corp.’s Menomonee Falls, WI, facility. "Officially, we’re printers," says Don Treis, chief executive officer. "But we’re really processors of information."

Arandell, the fourth largest U.S. catalog printer, is doing some interesting stochastic work. Look for the inside scoop from Jim Giencke, Arandell’s technology guru and chief operating officer, in our next issue. (See www.arandell.com.)

... While QuadTech controls color and registration
Denise and Katherine apparently can’t get enough of Wisconsin, because they also went to Sussex to catch up with QuadTech (www.quadtechworld.com). As QuadTech director of communications Sharon Quint noted, it’s very convenient for the company to field-test its registration and closed-loop color control systems. Parent company Quad/Graphics is right across the street. Look for more information in April. We’ve also got some great closed-loop color control articles in our online archives.

Hal Hinderliter, king of all media
We’ve teamed with IPA and Hal Hinderliter to offer a Webinar on March 2, 2005. See www.ipa.org/amprinter for complete details.

Author of "Imposition, CIM and you," Hal is an expert in digital prepress, workflow management, e-commerce and XML publishing. His books include "Understanding Digital Impostion," "Desktop Publishing Primer" and "GATF Imaging Skills Program" (www.gain.net). A popular speaker and consultant (www.halhinderliter.com), Hal also is the director of Cal Poly’s Graphic Communication Institute (grci.calpoly.edu) in San Luis Obispo, CA.
