Reliant Colour is replacing a 12 year old Trendsetter with a Suprasetter A75 CtP device with AutoLoader. The company short-listed two contenders but Heidelberg’s Suprasetter thermal system won the day.
While many newspaper printers have only recently started to take advantage of the benefits of thermal CTP technology, St. Galler Tagblatt AG, a company that forms part of the Swiss media group NZZ, can look back on more than ten successful years of working with Kodak’s thermal CTP and plate technologies. At the print centre in St. Gallen’s Winkeln district, the company uses two KODAK GENERATION NEWS Platesetters to image the approximately 320,000 print plates that are used every year for print operations on a six-tower WIFAG press equipped with two folding units. Since March 2012, the company has been using only the new KODAK THERMALNEWS PT Plate.
