The family-run, Nottingham-based printer described the installation as a "totally stress-free transition", replacing a Scitex Dolev 800 machine.
Denise Perry, company secretary, told printweek.com the investment was entirely "client-led" with the firm not wanting to "fall behind the times".
Ashley Gould, pre-press manager, described the platesetter as producing "some very impressive results" while set up times have "reduced dramatically".
He added that plate production speed at the 12-staffed firm has also improved, which has led to "increased flexibility when juggling print jobs on the press".
The Mako platesetter images plates for the company's four-colour Komori Lithrone and five-colour B1 Mitsubishi presses.
The platesetter offers resolutions between 1800 and 3556dpi and can image up to 18, eight-page plates per hour at a resolution of 2400dpi.
