Represented by local distribution partner PT Berkat Abadi Pratama, ECRM will be displaying its MAKO NEWS platesetter and demonstrating the production value and benefits of violet CTP for small to medium-sized newspaper publishers.

Johnson Mak, ECRM Business Development Manager, Asia Pacific commented, “The latest figures from Indonesia show that the number of local daily newspapers has increased and although internet use is growing, newspapers are still the major source of information in the region.” He continues, “For publishers, Violet CTP represents a means to increased productivity and reliability. Standard performance characteristics are high-quality [now considered equivalent to thermal], simplified electronics, and higher imaging speeds, resulting in dramatically reduced acquisition, maintenance, operational, and most of all, service costs.”

Visitors to Indoprint 2007 will see firsthand how the small footprint, easy installation process and simple-operational approach of the MAKO NEWS enables fast CTP implementation. ECRM has engineered this Violet CTP platesetter to provide the high-quality color production required by small and medium-sized newspaper publishers. With a flexible format and fast, easy operation, it accommodates the most popular range of web widths (up to a maximum format of 635mm x 960mm or 25.0” x 37.8”), and is ideal for deadline-driven publishing environments, as it is capable of producing over 78 Berliner plates per hour at 1200 dpi without complex load/unload cycles.

Targeted for most single-width newspaper presses such as those from Berliner and Goss, the MAKO NEWS provides added flexibility with optics designed to deliver eight resolutions from 1016 to 2540 dpi and three anamorphic resolution sets (1016 x 2032 dpi, 1200 x 2400 dpi, and 1270 x 2540 dpi).
