DIGITAL PLATES -- Shortcutting the Process

Citiplate Inc. is in kind of a unique position because it is concentrating more heavily on being a custom plate manufacturer, says Robert Dainton, technical director of the Roslyn Heights, NY-based company. "We're looking to sell any new products through third parties, rather than direct," he explains. "We've had several companies ask us to make 'no-process' plates for them."
