It was not that long ago that offset plates from renowned brands were not or hardly available," says technical director Thomas Spekschoor at Senefelder Misset, located in The Netherlands in Doetinchem. 'It even looked like we were going to have a production stoppage. Of course that's not possible. To put it mildly, it was 'exciting!' What did we do? We contacted our network, including AtéCé. That turned out to be a golden move. AtéCé proposed switching to Aventus offset plates from its own brand Nova. The test went perfectly and Nova Aventus offset plates are now part of the collection of plates that we use.'
Colleague Koos Welling, data and mailing support team leader, adds: 'The Nova plates pleasantly surprised us. In our experience, they work without any problems and are as good as offset plates from renowned brands. AtéCé keeps sufficient stock, so the exciting period of almost missing out no longer has to happen. That is a reassuring thought.'
