The Aylesbury-based printer claimed that the switch would save 55,000, based on a minimum consumption of 800 plates per month over three years.
According to basysPrint UV-Setter distributor Punch Graphix, the bulk of the savings came from using conventional plates, coupled with expected savings in staff and materials associated with the move to CTP.
The UV-Setter 743 is now in full production at the company's site, producing B1 format plates from its MAN Roland 705 press, as well as B2 and B3 format plates for nearby printers.
"We are getting all of the benefits of cost-effective plate production with absolutely no drawbacks," said BPMG director John Priest.
