Print providers will have an opportunity to experience breakthroughs in prepress automation at Graphics of the Americas. In booth #1064, Screen (USA) will demonstrate its most powerful enhancements to the Trueflow workflow management system.
Although thermal computer-to-plate (CTP) systems have been an economically viable option for a number of years, especially where high throughput or full automation is important for profitable printing, many small print shops have found the cost of adopting CTP beyond their reach. The Screen PlateRite Niagara has changed all that.
As part of a major regeneration programme; which complements the installation of a new Komori press; The Jarvis Print Group in Manchester has taken delivery of a thermal CTP system from Screen. The company reports its prepress department is now five times more productive as a result of the investment.
Three key factors in recent years have been cited as driving demand for very large-format (VLF) computer-to-plate (CTP) recorders: the markets for large-format sheetfed and web presses, the need for faster plate delivery as run lengths shrink and the growing number of commercial printers branching out into carton and label work.
Polkadots Software Inc., the leading CtP production workflow developer specializing in newspaper workflow, is pleased to announce the recent installations of NEWSflo into several North American newspaper production sites.
Screen (USA) has announced the appointment of Jeff Skolnik to the position of Southern regional sales manager, overseeing sales of Screen digital printing equipment, computer-to-plate (CTP) devices and prepress workflow solutions.
The growing volume of color images that are used to tell news stories and expanding insertions of photo-heavy advertising supplements is driving the demand for ever-higher levels of quality in newspaper production
