Agfa Colour Proofing's Total Systems Integration
London's Clement and Foster has built upon its recent £0.5m investment in a new press and CTP equipment, with the installation of Agfa Grand Sherpa digital colour proofing.
Charisma claims that it now achieves faster job turn around times and the Sherpa colour output is accepted as contract quality.
Plate production is also said to achieve 2,000 plates per month.
Other claimed benefits include superior registration, sharpness and cleanliness.
Charisma considered the thermal route to increase productivity, but following a nine-month market survey, visits to other users, and on-press plate trials, Agfa's package was selected.
"The integration of Apogee with our own workflow methods is fundamental and Agfa has fully justified our confidence in their support, expertise and knowledge of the business," said Charisma managing director Kevin Dixon.
He believes a key feature for Charisma is the speed and quality of its response.
He said that turnover is up by 30%, profits have increased every year since he led a management buy-in four years ago, a new factory is in full production and an investment plan has acquired additional equipment to cope with growth.
Charisma's clients are in the financial services, mail order, subscriptions management, travel and communications markets.
