American Printing has seen a marked difference
TRILLIAN SP Plates are designed to offer commercial printers, publishers and offset package printers outstanding levels of productivity, efficiency, total-cost effectiveness and a reduction in chemistry. At Graph Expo, KODAK will showcase a complete solution consisting of TRILLIAN SP Plates, KODAK MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter with automatic pallet loader (APL), and the new KODAK Intelligent Prepress Manager Software.
“The biggest things about these plates are the extended run length with a lot less chemistry,” said Ajay Lamb, Vice President of Technology for American Printing Company in Madison, Wis. “We used to run a thousand plates per chemistry cycle, but with TRILLIAN SP Plates, we’re going to 3,000 plates per chemistry cycle. It’s a very good chemistry, and it saves us the time it takes to stop, change the chemistry and clean the processor.”
American Printing has seen a marked difference in on-press performance with KODAK TRILLIAN SP Plates as well. “This plate is very fast in processing, uses low energy and is superior in how it images,” said Lamb. “It’s much more consistent and higher resolution than other plates. We’re a high quality sheet-fed shop, printing everything from one or two colors all the way to eight colors with UV coatings. Consistency is important, especially with our corporate clients. With TRILLIAN SP Plates, we’ve gotten enough run length for everything that we do here.
