Customer Case | Oostende, Belgium | 25 August 2016
Goekint Graphics is part of the Albe De Coker, a family business with a history of 140 years and one of Belgium’s leading sheet offset printing companies. The company pays a lot of attention to sustainable entrepreneurship. Controlling and reducing their environmental impact is an essential and active part of their day-to-day management.
While Albe De Coker focuses mainly on high-quality print jobs for the art world, Goekint Graphics mainly addresses larger run lengths. The company deploys ultramodern KBA Rapida 106 presses, some of which are equipped with HUV technology.
Having trialed the Energy Elite Eco printing plates for a couple of months, Goekint Graphics brought the Arkana smart processor into use in May 2016. After a short period offline, the Arkana was put into online operation. The team is very pleased with the quality of the plates and also particularly appreciates the small amount of clean chemistry that is needed to clean the plate, and the reduction of waste and maintenance that can be achieved with the new smart processing solution.
