The division, YRG Manchester, installed the CDI Advance flexo platesetter with sleeve option.

It moved to a new purpose built site in Stockport last October. "The equipment is similar to that at the York operation," said York Repro-Graphic partner Andrew Woodward. "With the CDI there it means we have the right backup."

The firm has other divisions and runs plants at Norfolk Labels and Norprint in Boston.

Last August York Repro installed a CDI Compact and PackEdge workstation at Norprint. In 2002, a CDI Spark narrow web digital imager was installed at Norfolk Labels.
