Tri-State Litho Expands Capabilities Tri-State Litho, a nationally known trade printer for short run books and publications, has combined the quality and speed of the Oce' Variable Data - Digital Black and White Printing System with the Heidelberg Full Color On-Demand Printer, the world's most productive 12" (32cm) digital full color web. As a short-run trade book printer, the demands to meet faster turnaround time, higher quality and lower costs have always been goals we strived for. Meeting those demands has now become a reality with our Oce' system. Both the text and covers of our books can now be produced completely digital - from a disk, from the Internet, or from a hardcopy. A typical example of a project we completed was a 208 page, 5-½ x 8-½ book, with black and white text pages that included graphics, and a four-color cover. The broker sent us the job on disk and requested that we make delivery of 300 books by Thursday. We finished them on Wednesday. "We have found that publishers prefer the "Copy/Press" technology of our Oce' system with its offset-like image quality, versus the shiny black imaging of digital copiers; we have been experiencing great success with the PDF files for both the text and cover. Digital proofs can be posted in a secure area of our website and the final proof is a finished product." Frank Campagna, President

Tri-State--Reinvent and Refocus Tri-State may have grown with technology, but Frank Campagna remains at eye level with his customers.
