KPG LAUNCHES NEWSETTER V120 SYSTEM AT NEWSTEC 2005
Newstec, Brighton Metropole, 23rd- 25th May 2005: Showcasing its latest violet digital platemaking solution for the newspaper industry, Kodak Polychrome Graphics (KPG) will be launching the Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system with the recently launched KPG VioletNews printing plate on stand 2010, hall 1 at Newstec 2005. Also being demonstrated is the KPG compact thermal newspaper solution, the KPG Newsetter TH100/TH180 CL with the KPG News Fidelity plate quality management system, the KPG News Monitor Remote Diagnostic System and the KPG ThermalNews Gold printing plate.
Making its first worldwide appearance at the show, the new Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system is a high-performance entry-level solution for newspaper producers who want to achieve high quality, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, versatility and ease of use. Capable of speeds of up to 120 plates per hour at 1270 dpi, the KPG Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system can be easily integrated into existing workflows and provides one continuous flow of plates, from automatic loading and the removal of interleaving paper, to final punching, bending and stacking of press-ready plates.
The KPG Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system offers a modular, fully automated violet CtP plate production line, which can be individually customised to meet the demanding productivity levels of the newspaper market, allowing users to efficiently control input, production and output. It is suitable for many newspaper formats including panorama, broadsheet and tabloid and can be run in one production sequence, without stoppages or amendments to the system.
Especially designed for deadline-driven newspaper applications, the KPG VioletNews printing plate combines reliability, consistency and production quality and will be shown in conjunction with the KPG Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system for the first time at Newstec 2005. An integral component of the KPG Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system, the KPG VioletNews printing plate, designed for newspapers, offers high durability and resolution of 2 to 98 per cent at up to 175 Ipi with run lengths of up to 200,000 copies unbaked. Other key specifications include fast imaging speed, handling in yellow safelight environments and low chemistry usage.
Commenting on the KPG newspaper solutions, Terry Baber, KPG UK managing director says: “The introduction of violet newspaper solutions is a new direction for KPG and supports our commitment to offering our customers choice. We are delighted to unveil the Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP system at Newstec 2005 in operation with our KPG VioletNews printing plate.
“We have also been forging ahead with the development of our thermal technology with the introduction of the KPG ThermalNews Gold plate and the Newsetter TH100/TH180 CL System. Our new and expanded product portfolio for the newspaper industry helps position us as a total solutions provider and because every newspaper printer is unique, we see it as our responsibility as a leading industry supplier to cater for our customers’ varying requirements.”
The KPG Newsetter V120 violet newspaper CtP and Newsetter TH100/TH180 CL systems will also be on show with a Nela video controlled punching and bending module linked to the fully automated Newsetter configuration. This enables accurate punching and bending of imaged and processed newspaper plates and provides optimum performance of the system.
