The York-based firm bought a range of Agfa chemistry-free equipment through Litho Supplies, including an Acento platesetter with Apogee X workflow for £66,000 and a four-year plate contract, likely to be in the region of £150,000.
The £1.4m-turnover printer produces commercial print on its four- and five-colour Komori presses.
According to the firm, it chose Agfa to meet demands for efficient plate production as well as due to environmental concerns.
“We believe going chemistry-free is an essential service to our corporate clients,” said North Wolds director Peter Meggitt.
“We decided on Agfa because the Azura plate is press-ready straight after leaving the gumming unit and I was not happy developing plates on the press. Also, the Acento platesetter pre-punches the plate before imaging.”
