We were amazed by how good the quality of the demonstration plates were when we put them on our machine. We’re now doing more four colour sets than when we were buying them from a high end laser plate setter. We are getting better quality plates now, too,"says Matthew Mason of John Mason Printers at Skipton.
"The PlateWriter allows us to provide our customers with a high quality yet competitively priced service, which is crucial during these tough economic times."
Business Print & Design in Wrexham has invested in a Glunz & Jensen PlateWriterTM 2000. The family run business "wanted to improve print quality and remove chemistry from the plate making process."
"The PlateWriter has replaced a polyester CtP system which was expensive to run and maintain," explains Peter Swann. "They were attracted to the very low running costs of the PlateWriter and with energy prices rising they wanted to capitalise on the environmental savings the Glunz & Jensen PlateWriter can bring.
“We do high volumes – nine million impressions a year with an average run length of 100,000,” reveals SPS Managing Director Tim Cullingworth of SPS Print and Mail Solutions in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. “We do 40,000 per day on each of our three Heidelberg Printmasters and the PlateWriter fits in very well.”
SPS installed its PlateWriter in 2009 and says that it is “tremendously reliable”. The company purchased it from Intec Printing Solutions in Poole, Dorset and Mr Cullingworth was pleased with “the high standard of very useful training” provided by Intec.
