Print Solutions

Falkland Press is the first UK company to order Screen GP’s new PlateRite HD 8900N platesetter. Launched recently and shown at drupa for the first time, the eight page platesetter promises excellent productivity for thermal computer to plate production and joins Falkland Press’s line up of pre-press, print and finishing equipment at its Letchworth facility.

The PlateRite will be installed alongside the company’s Heidelberg presses.

The new PlateRite HD 8900N series includes the Z, S and E models – each designed to meet specific needs. The high end Z model features a 1024 channel imaging head that helps it to improve output from 67 to 70 plates per hour. The S and E models are equipped with 512 channel imaging heads and are capable of producing 48 and 36 plates per hour, respectively.

The series accommodates a wide variety of plate sizes, ranging from 304 x 305 mm up to a maximum 1165 x 950 mm, making it flexible to support a wide range of offset presses.
