CTP FIELD REPORTS -- A Digital Duet

One of the key reasons he was sold on the new device is the way it handles the plate prior to imaging, Sawyer reveals. "The transport length from the plate tray to the imager is very short," he explains. "Also, the slip sheet removal system on this particular machine is very positive, which is important because that's one of the problems that can stop a platesetter. This system grabs the plate and physically blows the sheet off the plate and catches it in a trap at the bottom of the unit. We haven't had any problems with jamming because of that feature."
