February 2008 Remous Printing News
Welcome to 2008!
It has been an extremely fortunate and busy start to the year for us and I hope it has been successful for you so far.

We haven't updated you on the news here at Remous for a very long time, so the time has come for another Newsletter to let you know what we have been up to in the last few months, as well as what we can offer you in the near future.
2008 seems to be flying by, with March just around the corner and before you know it summer will be here. January and February have been two very busy months which we hope to maintain though out the year this is why we have a special offer listed below, why not take advantage?

In recent months we have once again been investing in new equipment and staff with the aim of further improving our service and product quality, for more details read on.
In this issue:

  • Agfa Pre-press Installed
  • New Staff join the team
  • Stock Control Service
  • Our latest Special Offer! Only available in this newsletter

Pre-Press Installation
  Repro equipment
As mentioned in the last Newsletter the CTP system we had installed by Screen nearly 5 years ago was starting to struggle to keep up with the demands we were placing on it, so we decided to look at the possibility of a new platemaking system.
We, of course, looked at all of the options first going back to Screen, also looking at Agfa and Heidelberg but once we began looking in detail we were most smitten with the Agfa Solution as it offered, complete workflow, process-less plates and great plate quality.

July 2007 we placed the order for the Agfa system which included the ApogeeX Commercial workflow and an unusual 'L' shaped layout to suit our premises. We are only the second company in the UK to utilise this new layout.
The new system offers us far greater efficiency in our repro department, using auto plate loading technology as well as plate stacking. The whole thing is automated.Here are just a few of the advantages we can now enjoy:-

  • ApogeeX Workflow adds 100% data integrity from proof to plate.
  • Chemical Free plate technology means dramatic reduction in waste (aprox 90%)
  • Pre-flight checking of PDF Artwork as standard.
  • Plates can be made from some files within 10 minutes if required.
  • Ripped PDF Proofs as standard.
  • Agfa Colour management for greater colour accuracy on proofs.
  • Reprints can be taken from archive and plated in minutes.

Since the installation last August we have enjoyed a consistent stream of plates which has allowed greater planning on production and easing the pressure in our studio.
Coupled with the data integrity which has reduced plate errors and the lack of chemistry we have been extremely pleased with our decision and the results we have seen so far.
Our repro can now be counted as the best available giving our staff the leading technology, with which we can produce your work on time with the quality you require.

New Staff join the team.
 
We are pleased to announce the recruitment of a new Graphic Designer to our Studio team.
Julia Singleton began working with us Mid February, she has been working in the trade for around 5 years and has BA (Hons) Degree in Graphic

Julia's arrival compliments our already experienced Studio team and can only enhance our strength within this aspect of the company.

This combined with the Agfa installation puts us in a very strong position as one of the best equipped and versatile Studios you could require, something we are very proud of.

Stock Control Service
  Accura Stock Control
You may remember some 18 months ago we moved over the Accura MIS System, since then we have been developing our production system to utilise the strengths of Accura.
We already provide a stock control and despatch service for one of our customers but when we approached by another customer for a similar service we realised we needed to look at this area of the company more closely.

After a demonstration from Data-Design Services of the Accura Stock Control Module, we decided this was the most sensible route to take and it soon became obvious it would be a seamless addition to our MIS system.
With Stock Control we can offer accurate and up to date stock listing as well as despatch service. We can produce delivery notes on your behalf and distribute to any where in the UK.

Further Development

In the future Data-Design are releasing a web module which can give a live porthole into our stock system as well as allowing you the possibility of checking on your job progress and even producing your own quick estimates based on your specific costings agreed with Remous.
