E&D Web--Pursuit of Productivity

In 1998, E&D Web went digital and began using PDI's Prisma thermal CTP plates. Love says the major contributing factor to stick with PDI, after the quality, was because it eliminated the baking issue.

"You don't bake these plates," he notes. "That not only saves us an additional step that lengthens processing times, but there are no additional costs on gas and electricity. We've also reduced possible pre-baking imaging problems and post-bake plate cracking, as well as the regulatory concerns with the EPA and OSHA of people working around an oven."
