SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – March 3, 2003 – PLP Digital Systems, the leading digital reprographics solutions provider, today announced the release of Revision Highlighting™, a component of PlotWorks® 5.5 that compares two versions of digitally created drawings and highlights the differences. The resulting RevLine™ drawing can be printed using any output device supported by PlotWorks software, both color and black-and-white.

"We have a choice of which reprographic company to use," said Vito Germinario, president of PCC Construction Components. "For PCC and other educated consumers who understand the value of RevLine drawings, selecting a company using Revision Highlighting is the clear choice. It is going to revolutionize the industry."

Curtis Metz, digital product manager at A&E – The Graphics Complex, believes that Revision Highlighting will bring more business to his company. "My current customers recognize that this industry-altering feature saves them valuable time and money," Metz said. "By showing changes in red, RevLine drawings immediately bring changes to the forefront. As Revision Highlighting gains awareness in the marketplace, reprographers' customers will demand it. Shops that don't offer Revision Highlighting will lose customers to those that do."

According to Khalil Rouhana of PCC Construction Components, Revision Highlighting brings significant benefits to workflow and change management. "It provides a unique opportunity to capture changes with a very high degree of accuracy and a minimum amount of time," Rouhana said.

"Reprographers who use Revision Highlighting will have a significant competitive advantage," said John Cronin, CEO of PLP. "In an aggressive market, reprographers who merely provide printing and distribution are perceived as commodity brokers. Revision Highlighting allows reprographers to expand into new areas such as change management and communication – services that are strategically relevant to their customers. This functionality opens up an entirely new revenue stream for reprographers."
