Printing Operations Grow with Heidelberg Press and Workflow Products

Clermont Printing & Office Supplies in Antigo, WI, reports the installation of a Prosetter P52 violet platesetter with MetaDimension RIP and Prinect PDF Toolbox. The new platesetter is used to image Heidelberg Saphira violet plates. The installations mark the company’s transition from film-based to digital workflow, with associated improvements in quality and efficiency, and a reduction in fixed cost expenses.

“We’re still running at 175 line screen, but our images look cleaner and our screens are finer and reproduce better now, thanks to the combination of our new Prosetter and Saphira plates,” said Steve Servi, company owner.

Elsewhere in the shop, second-generation, family run Clermont operates a 4-color Heidelberg GTO, together with assorted small-format duplicating equipment. The $2 million company describes itself as a general commercial printer specializing in run lengths up to 40,000. Established in 1957, it serves a variety of small business clients across northern Wisconsin.

“We’ve made outstanding progress with help from Heidelberg.” said Steve Servi, company owner. “Their technicians are awesome. Heidelberg brings a level of expertise that’s invaluable to a business like ours.”
