Ball State Adds CTP, Four-color Press

Over the past couple of months, the Muncie, Ind., in-plant has used its savings to make two major installations that will completely overhaul the 11-employee operation.

First the shop installed a six-page thermal Screen (U.S.A.) PlateRite 4100 platesetter. Then, in April, it added a four-color Heidelberg Printmaster 52 perfector. The new capabilities will pay for themselves by reducing waste and bottlenecks, says Johnson, director of Printing Services. Plus, the new press will let the in-plant do four-color work it was previously unable to handle, including outside jobs.
