Nationwide Print has demonstrated its commitment to green, ethical printing and saved "around two days" of employee time per month by investing in Screen PlateRite 4300E platesetter.
The St Austell, Cornwall-based printer, which produces work for clients such as The Eden Project and The National Trust, has also installed an SAL 4100 auto plateloader, stacker and Screen Trueflow software.
The 15-strong company is running the system unmanned, processing 50 plates a day, while the processless plates have cut the printer's waste disposal costs.
Nationwide Print managing director Julian Hocking said: "The extra consumables and chemistry required for our old system, in addition to paying out for waste disposal and extra maintenance, added about 30% to the price of our violet plates so even though the plates were cheaper, it was a bit of a false economy."
The litho printing company, which runs a Heidelberg pressroom that includes two Speedmaster SM 52 presses, a five- and two-colour, wanted to ensure its new machine set-up was as green as possible.
Nationwide Print managing director Julian Hocking said: "Our customer network is spread right across the UK and no matter where businesses are based, every company is concerned about sustainability and reducing emissions.
"As well as consistently outputting plates with a dot sharpness and registration accuracy that enables superior process control and fast makeready times, our new processless set-up proves we are dedicated to building our business in an ethical way as we are operating a much cleaner and efficient operation since we had it installed."
