Every customer is unique and our multiple solutions offer the best quality and speed for every application.” “My mission now is finding a few select, motivated, and industry knowledgeable dealers and re-sellers with stellar reputations in the graphic arts field. A company the caliber of Global Pre-Press Systems was exactly what I was looking for.” Michael “Mike” Seale, President, Global Prepress, “Providing turnkey prepress solutions to print professionals in general and newspaper publishers in particular involves introducing new ways to work – the benefit, however, is a huge increase in productivity and overall cost savings for our customers. We're always looking for products that provide the most ROI for our clients. Our key measuring points are product reliability, ease of use and value. The ability of our customers to quickly understand how a product works is critical in perceiving value.” He continues, “In addition to its very affordable price, what attracted us to the Accelero CTP was their many year legacy in producing reliable CtP and imagesetter systems, as well as the overall integrity of the company and its' General Manager, Tony Ford. I was also extremely impressed by the dedication and teamwork exhibited by alfa CtP's entire staff and the hospitality extended to me when I visited the offices and factory. Many of the employees have been there for years. They're a real “family” and there is a lot of pride in the products they produce, a quality sorely lacking throughout our industry today. Additionally, as a United States Marine Corps veteran, the “Made in the USA” label also ranked very high with me personally. Anthony “Tony” Ford, General Manager, alfa CTP - “Global's team is dedicated to ensuring customers understand not only our products, but how they interface with various RIPS, workflows and other imaging devices and that they are placed in the proper environment. Global Pre-Press' expertise in full pre-press integration, their integrity, high standards in service and support to customers is well known in the newspaper, publishing and commercial printing markets and we are very excited about our new partnership.
