The new KODAK LIBRA VP2 Digital Plate offers significant improvements over Kodak’s previous generation of violet plates with faster imaging speeds, higher durability on press, and a low environmental impact. Developed for newspaper printing, the LIBRA VP2 Plate has been doing a great job for some time now at the Axel Springer Group’s offset printing plant in Ahrensburg, Germany. Ahrensburg is one of the media and technology company’s three newspaper production sites in Germany together with the printing houses in EssenKettwig and Spandau (Berlin).
The Challenge: Axel Springer needed a violet plate with the ability to run cleanly, fast and efficiently with a minimum of startup waste.
The Solution: KODAK LIBRA VP2 Digital Plates fit into Axel Springer’s operation smoothly, and the easy transition and excellent performance of the plate on one CTP line prompted the migration to LIBRA VP2 on a second line.
