According to Rick Black, President and CEO of ECRM, “The addition of our NEWSmax CTP line will be a valuable extension to both our semi-automatic and automatic newspaper CTP products, giving our customers capability of production speeds up to 400 plates per hour. The ECRM-Dotline partnership will enable ECRM to provide a broader range of CTP solutions capable of handling the needs of every newspaper.” Mr. Black will attend the October IFRA Show in Vienna with Dotline.
