PTL signs major deals at Ipex

Printing Techniques signed a number of deals at Ipex including a further deal with Southampton-based book printer Hobbs the Printers.

The three-year multi-million pound consumables deal also includes two new platesetters from Esko-Graphics, a thermal PlateDriver and a visible light DMX, which together are worth more than 300,000.

The PlateDriver will use Agfa P971 plates and the DMX, which is the firms second, will use Agfa N91 photopolymer plates.

Thermal is now a consistent and reliable product and by using P971 with N91 it allows us to cover a whole spectrum of work, said operations director Graham Bromley.

PTL also signed a three-year deal with east London trade shop The Repro Factory to supply it with film and plates. The firm has signed up with PTL to use Agfas P970 thermal plate and Konica VR100E film.
