Bell Invests in VLF

Published: March 01, 2010

KENNESAW, GA | Heidelberg recently sold a Speedmaster XL 162 VLF press to Bell Inc., Sioux Falls, SD. Bell is supporting its new press with a Suprasetter 162 VLF CtP system. Both the press and platesetting device are scheduled to be installed in April.

Bell VP Ben Graham says, “We believe that together these installations will create a model of highly efficient print and plate production. Bell will be in a position to offer even the largest customers the kind of speed and flexibility we're known for.”

In addition to Heidelberg lasers and patented Intelligent Diode System, the Suprasetter is said to feature excellent depth of focus, internal temperature stabilization, and straightforward operation.
