NEWSPAPER CTP — MAKING THE LATE EDITION

Mickey Bella, corporate director of production, reports the newspaper publisher opted to install two Agfa Advantage CLS violet platesetters to image Agfa plates with Sublima screening. One of the factors that it weighed most heavily in deciding which system to buy was the machine itself.

“We knew both thermal and violet were solid technologies, so we first settled on the machine design,” Bella explains. “Our biggest concern was how complex, or rather how simple, is the machine to maintain.”
