Suffolk-based Kingfisher has invested in a Fuji Luxel V-6 B2 platesetter, its first move into CTP. Kingfisher is aiming to increase the amount of repro it does in-house to reduce operational costs and increase productivity.
"We believe violet technology provides a reduced cost of ownership and is more environmentally friendly," said Kingfisher Press production manager Richard Stiff (pictured right).
Kingfisher Press is also the first Fuji customer to install a fully automated version of the Luxel V-6.
"Violet CTP has taken the market by storm and is now the first choice for many printers and repro houses," added Fujifilm Graphic Systems UK divisional director, Keith Dalton.
Kingfisher's counts Harrods, Greene King and Bayer among its many customers.
