The kit is a job placement option for sheetfed offset, web offset and flexographic printing. It is designed to be one of the most versatile and affordable products for label, packaging and screen printers.

Stefaan Vandermeersch, product and sales manager of Compose Systems Europe, said it "seamlessly integrates" with Express Workflow, Gapfinder technology and other applications.

"Plate Controller also supports basic imposition templates for the commercial market, adding to its versatility."

The kit supports all shapes of labels, nesting for packaging and front-to-back synchronisation for precise registration.

Vandermeersch said: "What really sets it apart is its fast, interactive step-and-repeat with preview and its template structure, both of which increase automation in the plate production process.

"For repeats, Autopack ensures fast, automated plate production in busy printing environments."
