PLATESETTING SYSTEMS -- Generation Gap in CTP

Computer-to-conventional plate (CTCP) also remains an option. While Esko-Graphics previously was reported to have pulled back on its plan to introduce the new Espresso CTCP system, basysPrint North America is moving forward with its UV-Setter products.

The company is touting the extension of "scrolling" technology across its product lines. With DSI2 imaging technology, the head continuously moves over the plate during the exposure process. Solutions for commercial printing include the UV-Setter Series 5 (27x37˝), Series 7 (37x45˝) and Series 11 (62x129˝).
