The firm’s latest purchase is a Heidelberg Prinect ImageControl spectrophotometer, which is due for installation over the Easter break to operate across two six-colour Speedmaster CD 102s.
Chairman Terry Cross said: “Delta is buying ImageControl to ensure colour is consistent, but also to reduce waste and achieve even faster makeready. We believe this system will pay for itself within a year.”
The ImageControl purchase follows the recent installation of a Suprasetter 105S platesetter with cassette loading and the instigation of staff training, designed to promote a better understanding of the theory of colour and the benefits of colour control.
Cross said: “The training is going well and one of the company’s suppliers, Flint Inks, is getting involved to talk about colour from a different perspective.”
