The Norfolk-based printer will run the platesetter with Fuji Pro-T plates and described reasons for moving into CTP as a combination of the "environmental benefits and the rising costs of film kit".
The 30-year-old company, which operates a Heidelberg kit house that includes a two-colour SM52 perfector, a Stahlfolder and a Ti52 buckle folder, is in the process of installing the platesetter today (10 January).
Richard Claxton, managing director of Great Yarmouth Printing Services, told printweek.com that the firm's customer base was becoming "increasingly aware of the need to buy green".
He added that film and conventional plates are becoming harder to find "so we realised we would have to take this step sometime and we decided to update".
The company, which produces spot-colour stationery work for blue-chip clients, will run the platesetter with Signastation imposition software.
