Printing technology has been remarkably static for the past 20
years. Very few significant developments were made until the late
1990’s when computer to plate (CTP) technology came through
its testing phase (we beta tested the Highwater Platinum plate
setter in 1996) and plate setters became readily available in
the market place. Most advancements since have been driven by
CTP and include CIP3 ink profiling and closed loop colour spectrophotometry
at both pre press proofing and during the printing process.
Our commitment to our customers and our industry is manifest
in our program of investment. All equipment within our business
has been purchased since late 1999 and as such deploys the post
CTP technological developments. This gives us the ability to continually
produce auditable print of a consistently high standard, a statement
that very few printers can honestly make.
