Aug. 24, 2009 — Miss. paper goes digital

The Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss., partnered with Southern Lithoplate’s Strategic Alliance to upgrade its analog plate making operation and convert to Southern Lithoplate’s Viper 830 plates. The Sun Herald also installed a Screen PlateRite News 2000S platesetter, replacing a previously installed analog plate system.
The publisher will manage its workflow with ProImage’s NewsWay.
“We converted over to the Southern Lithoplate CTP system using Viper 830 lithoplates, Newsway workflow and the Screen 2000 all at the same time,” said Gary Raskett, vice president of operations and circulation. “This was one of the smoothest transitions we have ever seen. We did not experience the slightest hiccup.”
The publisher also installed ProImage’s OnColor Eco ink optimization app.
Ink preset data is sent by NewsWay to The Sun Herald’s Goss MPSCII press control system.
