Abstract
A presentation- and publication-quality computer graphics system has been implemented at Union Carbide Corporation Nuclear Division over the past four years. Success of the implementation required close interaction between programmers and illustrators. This paper discusses the problems involved in establishing a computer graphics capability in a conventional graphic arts department. The problems dealt with fall into three areas: identifying and acquiring appropriate hardware, acquiring user-friendly software that could meet stringent quality standards, and overcoming the prejudices and misconceptions of all the people involved.
