Context

Country: Canada

Period: Used. c. 1982 until June 2004.
Canada: Example of type of equipment once widely used in the Canadian graphic arts industry. By reducing the time and skilled hand labour required to produce corrected colour separations, digital, electronic scanners like the DC 350 helped the graphic arts industry meet the increasing demand for colour images from advertisers and publishers in the 1970s and 1980s. This example of a DC 350 was originally owned by a company called Colour Images. In 1995 the firm and the scanner were acquired by Maracle Press, which used the scanner until June 2004. Maracle Press was incorporated in 1920 and had a long association with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Today it is a privately owned company specializing in book manufacturing and commercial printing. It employs more than 75 workers at its Oshawa plant, which provides integrated pre-press, press and bindery services to clients across North America. (Ref. 1)
