CTP--The Digital DRUPA

Technology Checklist
Though lips are sealed as to specific platesetter product announcements for DRUPA 2000, the following technological tidbits offer a direction for the platesetting market, as it steams ever closer to the May event.

Agfa's emphasis for the DRUPA 2000 timeframe will be on Galileo S, a visible-light plate manufacturing system. Featuring a high production speed, this system is designed to bring maximum throughput to high-volume printing operations. Galileo S images plates at speeds up to 50 percent faster than the standard Galileo visible-light system.
