Sorry the the lag in reply (had to let this rest over the weekend).

I did find out which printer the magazine uses. Democratic Printing (https://www.democratprinting.com). I downloaded their Prepress Guide to see if I could learn anything about their technology. The guide is located here (https://nebula.wsimg.com/de5766921d2ae45ff8d00ec7f956391b?AccessKeyId=F026E75F15D5B659F7A6&disposition=0&alloworigin=1).

I also called them (but had to leave a message) so I could ask if they are using an older PostScript-based RIP instead of a modern APPE (PDF-based) engine, like you suggested. Hopefully I’ll get a call back soon.

I’m going to check out that article too, David.

In the meantime, can we learn anything from the Presspress Guide?

Thanks!
