Creation Reprographics introduces Asahi Photoproducts’ AWP water washable flexo plates as part of OEE strategy

The company’s OEE strategy is intended to fine tune all areas of productivity to enable swift, high-quality turnarounds and deliver customer satisfaction.

Matt Franklow, Creation Reprographics managing director, said: ‘The print landscape is moving more and more towards shorter runs and the industry needs to be able to cater for this with fast service capabilities. We are constantly examining and honing our processes through a thorough OEE program to ensure the highest standard print solutions.'

To support this, Creation has introduced Asahi Photoproducts’ AWP water washable flexo plates to optimize efficiency and output quality.

‘At Creation we pride ourselves on challenging the status quo so we pioneered the technology in the UK from the outset for its stand-out performance compared to other photopolymer plates. We have invested heavily in developing a streamlined reprographics and plate production process and the number of repeat clients now utilizing the technology proves that its outstanding print accuracy and caliber is appreciated.’

Franklow added: ‘The AWP plate’s progressive features are as beneficial for printers as they are for customers, and serve as a perfect example to the industry of how OEE programs can and should be implemented to improve organizational effectiveness and service offering.’
