TORONTO February 26, 2008 - Pierre Verreault, owner of Imprimerie Moderne de Beauce, realized it was time to upgrade their platesetter when they were unable to achieve the consistency of output they required on their existing platesetter, particularly at screen ruling above 150 lines. Tim Quigley, plant manager, looked for a machine that would allow them to print higher line screens, up to 250 lpi, and improve print quality and consistency. He also wanted a platesetter and workflow that would improve overall productivity in the plant, not only making more plates, but allowing the press operator to get up to colour faster and maintain that consistency. As a smaller printer, cost of operation and reliability were also key factors to consider. This naturally led them to consider the Fuji Luxel V-6 scalable violet CtP platesetter with the Celebrant workflow.
