The East Sussex-based company has installed a Kodak Magnus 800 Quantum platesetter and has upgraded its Prinergy Connect workflow system, which includes the latest version of the Prinergy base system as well as the newest iteration of Kodak's Insite prepress portal.
Its new platesetter features a multi-cassette plate unit and can image and punch up to 40 B1 plates an hour for the group's Heidelberg presses.
Pureprint's Prinergy upgrade features the latest Adobe PDF Print engine that will allow the company to accept native PDF from version 1.4 upwards to 1.8. In addition, the Kodak Colorflow colour management system will help enable Pureprint to view, proof and print colour to specific ISO standards.
According to Aaron Archer, technical director at Pureprint Group, the investment "demonstrates Pureprint’s continued commitment to the latest prepress technology" and one that will improve print quality while cutting turnaround times.
The investments come on the back of the opening of the group's new Clerkenwell, London office.
Richard Owers, marketing director at Pureprint Group added: "London is home for many of the best designers in the world and we are asked to provide support and advice on everything from production techniques to specialist substrates. Our Clerkenwell office will bring us closer to our clients."
