Dotline adds automatic platesetters to range

German CTP newcomer DotLine has expanded its platesetter range with two machines aimed at the commercial and newspaper markets.

The CA55 and CAM55 are the first from DotLine to offer automatic plate loading, and join the entry-level C55 manual-loading line in the firm's product brochure.

Both machines are available in three versions capable of speeds up to 24pph, 37pph or 53pph, with a maximum plate size of 635x870mm.

The CA55 holds up to 100 plates, while the CAM55 features a magazine that can handle four different plate sizes, starting at 350x250mm.

Tobias Kaufhold, DotLine managing director and former Krause joint managing director, said the firm was still looking for a dealer in the UK.

DotLine was formed last year by three ex-Krause executives and launched the manual-load C55 in June.
