Prepress

Transcontinental Transmag & Seattle Times tap NELA

Two more North American printers decide on NELA equipment to automate and control their plate flow in the prepress department.

Monday 28. July 2008 - Two more North American printers decide on NELA equipment to automate and control their plate flow in the prepress department.

NELA is proud to be one of the partners of Transcontinental Transmag on their new press project in Montreal, Canada. The NELA system will vision register, punchbend and inspect plates exiting three (3) CTP devices. With the help of NELA NPS Barcode & Page Tracking Software, the plates will be then transported to the quiet room next to the press consoles. Plates destined for the upper press deck will be navigated by a plate lift onto a multi-bin plate stacking system positioned next to the press units.

“We are excited to work with Transcontinental Transmag on this automation project that handles plates all the way to the press.”, says David Klein, President of NELA. “This system will allow Transcontinental to maximize their plate through-put and quality and offers them a more efficient way of plate handling.”

The installation will start in December of 2008. Please see attached 3-D layouts.
