ABSTRACT

The growth witnessed during the 1990s would have been difficult, if not impossible, without the close alliances forged between hardware manufacturers, system integrators, and media and toner manufacturers. For instance, the close cooperation between 3M, Syn­ ergy Computer Graphics (Sunnyvale, CA), James River Graphics (now Rexam Graphics, South Hadley, MA), and Hilord Chemical Corp. (Hauppauge, NY) led to the success of the Scotchprint graphics fabrication process and its acceptance by the graphic arts and printing industry worldwide.
