Computer-to-Plate — Digital Plate Developments

The company president says he hasn’t heard any complaints from the pressroom related to having the plates cleaned out on-press. Operators haven’t needed to do any additional press maintenance.

Alonzo had been using the plates on two older 25” sheetfed presses that it has just replaced with one MAN Roland 500 press. They also are run on two Color King web presses. Duffy says the shop’s average run is around 10,000 impressions, even on the webs, and it very seldom has a job that’s over 100,000 impressions.
