India gets its first Heidelberg Topsetter P74
CtP system installed at Anderson Printing House Pvt. Ltd.
Anderson Printing House Pvt. Ltd. is a leading print and graphic services provider in eastern India. Started in the year 1962 by B. Gosh, Anderson was taken over by N K. Kajaria in the year 1989. Today Anderson addresses the specialised segment of commercial printing where quality and responsiveness to customer needs are important.
In order to achieve this Anderson had approached the issue of addressing customer needs in a more scientific manner by equipping itself with a fully digital colour management process combined with the latest cutting edge technology for image capture, manipulation and reproduction. This include the Heidelberg Scanner, Nexscan F4100, Heidelberg offset presses from the legendry GTO 52 (a single color and a four color) to the state of the art Speedmaster SM 52-4 and the Prepress to Press interface system.
In addition to this Anderson has recently installed the latest Computer-to-Plate (CtP) technology system from Heidelberg, the Topsetter P 74 and the highly sophisticated workflow, MetaDimension. This has placed Anderson amongst the few printers in India who can produce high quality FM screening (frequency modulated). The proof of Anderson`s achievement is its client list which includes blue chip companies like Reliance, HCL technologies, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Rolta, TVS, IBM.
Mr. N.K.Kajaria, Director of Anderson Printing house comments, ``with CtP technology it is possible to produce high quality results, greater range of tonal values with minimal dot gain. Apart from quality it enables faster availability of printed product as it cuts done a lot of intermediate process in printing. The choice of Heidelberg was obvious as they are the best and the leading providers of solution in the graphic arts industry.``
Topsetter P74, Heidelberg`s Computer-to-Plate system comes with the state of the art technology with external drum construction and thermal imaging technique. It is designed to images standard thermal plates with a sensitivity of 830nm for high quality output on the press. The high imaging speed of the Topsetter P 74 helps to image 20 plates per hour in the maximum format with a resolution of 2,400dpi. The high-precision multi channel laser head and first-class workflow system aim at top performance every time. The Topsetter P 74 can handle a range of formats from 14.56``x12.75`` to 25.98``x32.67`` giving the flexibility for 2-page and 4-page jobs. The inline punching system of the Topsetter P 74 tries to ensure that register errors become a thing of the past.
