Eclipse Pro from ECO3 is an advanced process-free printing plate that produces consistent, high-quality prints over various printing conditions. The solution is helping Roberts Printing provide customers with everything they need and more to ensure their success. Roberts Printing has proudly served the Florida Gulf Coast region with quality printing for over 50 years.
As one of only a few woman-owned printing businesses in U.S. Roberts Printing is distinct. An intentional drive to create a culture of success makes it unique in the marketplace. Following an unfavourable price adjustment to their process-free thermal CTP plates, the press team trialled Eclipse Pro by ECO3 and was impressed with its consistency and ease of use. With wide prepress and on-press latitude, the Eclipse Pro plate offered outstanding value and performance.
According to Terry Rayner, General Manager at Roberts Printing, Eclipse Pro plates ran efficiently on press from day one, ‘We didn’t see any significant movement and didn’t have to change our pressroom chemistries. Nothing. Our colour remained the same with the Eclipse Pro plates. With a G7 Master Facility Colorspace Qualification, we require tight colour tolerances across digital and offset platforms. These plates deliver accurate colour matching.’
A sustainable alternative to conventional plate-making, Eclipse Pro requires no messy processor to maintain or chemicals to dispose of. It can be dropped into competitive prepress settings and requires minimal CtP adjustments, ensuring repeatable and high-quality printing. Its generous on-press latitude allows fast start-ups and restarts with minimal paper waste, saving time and resources. Eclipse Pro’s exceptional image contrast, lasting up to 24 hours, and superior scratch resistance, enhance efficiency and convenience.
‘We use a lot of plates, so price is important, but it’s more than that, explained Rayner. ‘Plate consistency has to be on point. The plate needs to perform every single time. We must know that our plate will deliver ink to paper and that the printed sheet will look right. Eclipse Pro delivers every time.’
