Suprasetter 105 and Saphira Consumables Boost JKG Groups Platemaking Efficiency
Wednesday 02. June 2010 - JKG Group in Boca Raton, Fla., a commercial printing company with a proprietary web-to-print strategy, recently took delivery of an 8-up Suprasetter 105 MCL CtP device to replace an aging competitive model.
According to COO Michael Woodring, the company was very favorably impressed, not only with the performance of the Heidelberg machine, but also with Heidelbergs superior sales and service effort. “The individuals Heidelberg sent to assist us with installation and training were top notch,” Woodring noted.
Thanks to a built-in web interface that enables the company to remotely police and monitor its separately located prepress, electronic stripping and proofing operation, the new Suprasetter also has greatly improved JKGs platemaking efficiency. Performance gets a boost from the companys use of Saphira Thermoplate PN plates and chemistry. “Were very happy with the quality of our reproduction,” Woodring said.
The new Suprasetter images plates for use with JKGs Speedmaster CD 102 6-color and three Printmaster QM 46 2-color presses. The company also uses Heidelberg Saphira pressroom consumables, including blankets, fountain solution and coatings. The companys reliance on Heidelberg solutions boils down to feeling that “we could raise our quality level by keeping things as much as possible on a single platform.”
Founded in 1984, JKG Group serves a national clientele made up primarily of large corporations. The company employs a staff of 100.
