- Innovative Product Integrates Coating Blanket Cutting Into Prepress Workflow - Manchester, CT, September 9, 2002 -- Gamse Lithographing Company a label printer located in Baltimore, Maryland has significantly lowered production costs by installing the Gerber Sector coating blanket cutter into their workflow. According to Gamse Lithographing Prepress Supervisor Bill Forness, “Gamse Lithographing saves an average of $200 per coating blanket by using the Gerber Sector. Before we purchased the machine, it was necessary to create a film and send out for a photopolymer plate˜a process that took three days. Now a typical coating blanket can be produced in 45 minutes. We use the Gerber Sector for both aqueous and ultraviolet coatings, and regard it as a very affordable way for printers to bring coating blanket production in-house.” The Gerber Sector coating blanket cutter recently received the prestigious 2002 GATF InterTech Technology Award˜the fourth time Gerber has been so honored by GATF for product innovation in the graphic arts. The Gerber Sector was introduced at PRINT 01, where it was designated a MustSee’Em product before the exhibition, one of only five individual products so honored.
