New Platesetter Improves Quality and Throughput
POMPANO BEACH, FL—Lithoprint Corp. recently installed an automatic, top-loading Heidelberg Suprasetter A75 thermal computer-to-plate device. The upgrade also allowed Lithoprint to take advantage of the environmental and quality improvements obtained through the use of Heidelberg Saphira Chemfree aluminum plates, 100 percent of which it recycles.
“We’re definitely getting a cleaner, sharper dot since we installed the new platesetter,” says company owner Brian Boyd. “This is evident in the much-improved quality of the reprints we do. In addition, our production times are significantly faster because of the automation.”
