Many print shops have 1, maybe two DTP programs for the Mac. They are almost always PageMaker and then something else. Any good print shop with a Mac should be able to handle a PostScript file, so applications aren't really a problem. The problem is that the software technology and the hardware required to run them move ahead to fast for some smaller printshops to keep up with. If a printshop tried to keep up with the new technology, it would spend thousands of dollars a month in hardware alone. The printshop by me just purchased a new RIP4 processor for $27,000 dollars. In several months, that will be no longer be state of the art.
