The company said it was hoping to boost its green credentials, and that the device's low-power laser technology along with the ability to go 'chemistry free', would help with this initiative.

Managing director John Neasby said: "Our previous CTP device used chemistry, didn't work in daylight, and was manual." He added he was also impressed by the Auto Loader, which automatically feeds in plates, as well as its debris removal system.

The business runs a range of other Heidelberg equipment including Speedmaster presses and Polar, Stahlfolder and Stitchmaster machines in its finishing department.

The company offers design through to production services for fast-turnaround promotional materials for a range of clients in the leisure and entertainment industries, meaning it handles a wide variety of print work.
