Project Details
Today, The Bureau serves a wide variety of customers, from Fortune 500 companies to high-end retail agencies and book publishers. Items produced for clients include point-of-purchase materials and signage, large-format marketing pieces, and all types of marketing collateral. The Bureau’s sister company, Art Instruction Schools, produces on-demand textbooks for students. To meet customer needs, both companies rely on an end-to-end Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) workflow based on the Kodak Prinergy 4 workflow system and Kodak NexPress 2500 digital production color press, both with the Adobe PDF Print Engine.
