Me & my... Screen PlateRite HD 8900S platesetter

摘要

Commercial printer Newnorth has nothing but praise for this fast and frugal device that works reliably and with a minimum of supervision. To say that environmental issues are a high priority at Newnorth is something of an under statement. The Kempston-based commercial printer has made great strides in reducing the environmental impact of its operations, and the lengthy list of its most recent achievements includes impressive savings in the amount of resources consumed by the company, and big reductions in the waste produced. This year it upped the amount of waste recycled to 95% and massively reduced its use of volatile organic compounds and alcohol. The company's letterhead bristles with accreditations including ISO 14001 and ISO 12647-2, and FSC certification. Hardly surprising, then, that when it came to choosing a new platesetter, the environmental credentials of the machines being considered were put under intense scrutiny. And even though the company had been using a Screen platesetter prior to the new purchase, it wasn't automatically the case that the manufacturer would be in pole position to win the new order.
