1st December 2008 – When Plastic Card Services was let down on the installation of a new platesetter to feed its new KBA press, Screen stepped in and saved the day.

A week before the Macclesfield plastic card specialist was expecting the platesetter to be delivered, it transpired that the machine was not available and would not be delivered for many weeks. As managing director Rob Nicholls explains: “It came as a bit of a shock. KBA were great and immediately set off to find an alternative for us. Screen took it in their stride and supplied us with a PlateRite 4300E. As it turns out, we ended up with a far better unit. We were very fortunate and now have a top notch platesetter that hadn’t originally even been on our radar.”

New CTP unit offering the world’s largest format output

Designed to contribute to the expansion of advertising media in Europe and North America

Screen has developed a new thermal VLF CTP device, the PlateRite Ultima 48000, offering the graphics industry the largest format output in the world. In recent years, there has been a trend towards the expansion of a variety of printed products with shorter lifecycles. Advertising, such as mail order catalogues, periodicals, and newspapers, are diversifying. The timelines are shorter with more frequent publishing release dates. There is, therefore an increased focus in Europe and North America on developing production equipment that makes it possible to produce a variety of printed materials while meeting tight deadlines, and increasing production efficiency at the same time. Major printing companies are looking into the benefits of incorporating large-format web offset presses into their expanding production lines, to enable the simultaneous large volume printing of a variety of printed products in multiple impositions.
