UK's first Veris for The Dot Factory

The Dot Factory, a Manchester digital print, repro and design house, has ordered the UKs first Creo Veris digital contract proofer because its beta testing is going so well.

The installation also includes an Integris 800 double-sided imposition proofer.

The Veris, which is based on Creos Multi-Drop Array, is a four-up proofer that can deliver a resolution of 1,500dpi.

The Dot Factory managing director Simon Perry said the detail and smoothness produced by the Veris during beta testing was superior to anything he had seen before.

We do a lot of work for home shopping and holiday companies, which involves a large amount of pagination and proofing, so we were impressed by its reliability and repeatability, said Perry.

The company uses the Veris to provide base proofs, used to check colour, content and images, while it uses the Integris to produce additional proofs that may contain changes to linework and tints.

The 24-staff company has a turnover around 1.8m
