Creative Print Gets Colourful with Speedmaster
Creative Print in Leeds has made its first move into full colour and CTP production with a Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52-5L five-colour with coater and a Prosetter 74 visible light platesetter.
All Prosetter models will also be equipped with a laser head with a 60 milliwatt laser head.
The company believes that the moves will boost plate throughput for Prosetter entry-level versions in small, medium and large formats by up to 30 per cent.
At the same time, the more powerful laser head is preparing the Prosetter for the move to future photopolymer plate technologies.
Users of existing standard Prosetter versions will also have the option to equip their platesetters with a software update that will increase throughput by up to 15 per cent.
"In particular, users switching to a CTP workflow will benefit from the innovations in our Prosetter family.
They will now receive a more powerful device at an attractive price and performance ratio," said Andreas Forer, head of CTP product management at Heidelberg.
