Emergency CtP Replacement Completed in Under 24 Hours for Creative Print Leeds

How IGS Digital helped restore production fast with a refurbished Screen CtP system, Heidelberg workflow integration, and expert press calibration.

Fast Commercial Print Equipment Support When It Matters Most

Creative Print Leeds, a leading UK commercial printer specialising in premium B2 lithographic printing, faced a major production crisis when their aging Computer-to-Plate (CtP) system suffered catastrophic failure and became beyond repair.

With urgent jobs scheduled across their Heidelberg B2 10-colour and 6-colour presses, downtime was not an option. They needed a rapid, reliable solution from a trusted supplier of refurbished CtP systems, print machinery, workflow integration, and technical support.

IGS Digital Delivers a Complete CtP Solution

Following industry recommendations, Creative Print Leeds contacted International Graphic Supplies (IGS) Managing Director Peter Flynn for immediate assistance.

After reviewing available stock, IGS supplied a fully refurbished Screen 4300-S CtP system complete with an automatic plate loader. The agreement was finalised on Monday, with delivery, installation, and calibration completed by Tuesday morning.

This rapid turnaround meant production delays were minimised and operations resumed almost immediately.

Heidelberg Prinect Workflow Integration & Press Optimisation

A key requirement was seamless integration with the customer’s existing Heidelberg Prinect workflow. IGS deployed its dedicated Heidelberg specialist engineer to ensure flawless communication between the new Screen CtP device and the existing print environment.

The IGS team also carried out:

• Precision profiling of Eco 3 Eclipse direct-to-press plates
• Optimised press profiles for Heidelberg 10-colour presses
• Optimised press profiles for Heidelberg 6-colour presses
• Full workflow testing and calibration
• Operator handover and production readiness checks

Customer Results

"When your primary CtP goes down, the clock starts ticking immediately. We needed a partner who understood our Heidelberg Prinect workflow and could deliver without compromise. IGS didn’t just get us running again—they improved performance. The presses are performing like the day they were installed."
