Digital Patesetters--Shopping the Output Odyssey

As if all the above views and activities on the digital platesetter front weren't enough to support the contention that the market is headed for continued growth, there is yet another new, aggressive platesetting player on the court.

The basysPrint CTcP (computer-to-conventional plate) digital-UV platesetter can image any brand of conventional offset plate, film or UV-sensitive proofing materials. However, when a Citiplate dual photopolymer-coated AQUA LHP plate is imaged, digital imaging and exposure times are up to 80 percent faster than with standard, single-emulsion conventional plates.
