American-Statesman switches to SLP plates

The Austin (Texas) American-Statesman converted to Southern Lithoplate’s Viper 830 thermal plates. The newspaper in 2007 switched to digital platemaking with thermal platesetters from Kodak. The daily is now converting a third platemaking line to CTP.
“We made the decision to convert to Southern Litho plates for quality reasons,” said Frank Mento, pressroom manager for the daily. “We have seen a drastic improvement in the reproduction quality with Viper 830 plates, particularly in areas containing large solids.”
