NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper - Benefits

NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper Saves Time and Money

Screen and offset printers are constantly working to reduce costs and improve profit margins. NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper is now a key product for meeting these goals for many printers. Compared to traditional plate preparation, using NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper dramatically reduces both the number of steps involved and the costs.

Using traditional methods -

1. Output a positive of the image to be printed on the laser printer
2. Laser positive would be shot onto photographic film
3. Film would be processed to form the negative image
4. Film negative would be used to burn the plate or screen

Using NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper -

1. Use your computer software's options to output a negative image to your laser printer using NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper
2. Use the NewsCraft LGN paper image to burn the plate or screen

Producing a plate or screen in the traditional method costs about $8.00. With NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper, the same results are achieved with a cost of about 15¢ - 65¢, depending on the size of the LGN paper being used.

Each day, using LGN, you save money. And, each dollar saved is another dollar earned by your company.

Whether you're a high volume printer or a small custom shop, you'll reap savings from the moment you start using NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper. For companies with high resolution laser printers already in place, there is no expensive equipment to purchase. So, start using LGN paper today.

Many printers who had not employed high resolution laser printers have invested in them. They realized that by saving almost $8.00 on each image produced, the laser printer would pay for itself very quickly.

No Messy Darkroom Chemicals

Using NewsCraft LGN Imaging Paper technology, you avoid the costs and hassle of all of those nasty darkroom chemicals used to process film negatives. You also avoid the time it takes to process the film negative. With LGN paper, the entire process is dry and the image is ready in just a few seconds . . . literally as fast as your laser can output the page.

Lower Archival Costs

NewsCraft LGN paper also reduces the problems and costs associated with archiving negatives. Film negatives, by their very nature, are delicate and easily damaged. LGN paper archives well because it's not as easily damaged as traditional film negatives.

In many modern printing operations using NewsCraft LGN paper, the LGN images are discarded after the plate or screen is prepared. Because of the extremely low costs associated with LGN paper, and the ease of storing the original material as a computer archive, storing the negatives just doesn't make sense given the ease of making a new negative should it become needed.

Faster Turnaround Time

Your customers will appreciate your improved turnaround time

With LGN Imaging Paper, you'll be ready to burn a screen or plate seconds after you tell your software to PRINT. Without all the steps involved with traditional film negatives, you'll be able to shorten your turnaround time. As all printers know, customers never complain when the work is completed quickly!
