Computer-to-plate and Thermal Advancements

An Optronics Aurora external-drum platesetter capable of imaging PostScript files directly onto large-format color aluminum plates and film with screen rulings up to 300 lines per inch is the cornerstone of the $8 million printer's CTP site.

Reynolds-DeWalt also relies on DuPont Silverlith SDB plate technology and ScenicSoft Preps imposition software to maximize its CTP workflow, as well as the Optronics ColorSetter 4000 film imagesetter, which is used as a node on Optronics Color Production System (CPS) architecture for digital workflows.
