Suseel George, manager (quality assurance) at Malayala Manorama, said: "We had visited Germany to see the VMax CTP in production at a reputed German newspaper unit. We were impressed with the speed, accuracy, quality and ease of use of VMax 160. On returning to India, we decided to buy the DotLine CTP."
VMax 160 is capable of producing 160 single plates or 80 panorama plates and is upgradeable upto 400 single plates per hour.
Malayala Manorama has opted for the semi automatic version "according to our plate production needs," added George. "This can later be upgraded to an automatic setup."
Malayala Manorama is already a user of two Dotlines which produce high resolution output of 2,540 dpi. This is their first order of four VMax 160 to Dotline for newspaper line.
