Dot Print Polyester Plates – Removing the Barriers to Computer-to-Plate
Dot Print polyester plates turn an existing electronic prepress workflow into a complete Computer-to-Plate (CTP) workflow without the typical, up-front investment in expensive equipment. Dot Print plates can be exposed on almost any HN or RLD imagesetter and processed in many polyester capable rapid access processors. And, since these versatile plates share the same press, compatible ink and the most of the same lithographic characteristics as metal plates, the transition to CTP easy and efficient.
Features:
• Low cost entry into CTP
• Use with many existing HN & RLD Imagesetters
