MGS signs CTP deal with FFEI

Marlowe Graphic Services (MGS) has signed an agreement with FFEI to distribute its CTP systems in the UK, including its range of Alinte B1 and B2 violet platesetters.

Darren Eliot, managing director of MGS, said: "Violet laser expose technology offers many advantages to the user. With just a single low-cost laser, the products offer high-quality and productivity, but with the added benefit of a low cost of ownership and ongoing maintenance."

Eliot added that he anticipated the use of either Fujifilm Pro V or Agfa Azura V low-chemistry plates on the FFEI platesetters.

"The combination of FFEI hardware with our StudioRIP software and workflow product, and either of these low-chemistry plate solutions, will provide the ideal prepress solution," he said.

MGS will show the FFEI Alinte 4 manual platesetter on its stand at the forthcoming Ipex trade show in Birmingham.
