Little Rock daily print site moving to CTP

May 26, 2009 — The (Little Rock) Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is adopting a digital workflow as it installs computer-to-plate equipment from alfaQuest Technologies Inc. at the plant that prints its Northwest edition and various other products.
Production Director Bob Long told News & Tech that the paper is installing two NewsXpress violet CTP lines with Fuji plate processors and Nela optical benders as part of a production upgrade that also includes a press web-width reduction to 46 inches.
Pressline Services Inc. is overseeing the reduction.
Both the CTP installation and reduction will be completed later this summer.
The Democrat-Gazette installed two alfaQuest FasTrak violet machines at its main facility in late 2007 (see News & Tech, March 2008).
Look for more information about the upgrade in the July issue.
