PLATESETTING SYSTEMS -- Generation Gap in CTP

At PRINT 05, Heidelberg will showcase both thermal (Suprasetter) and violet (Prosetter) CTP devices along with new chemistry-free plate technology. To give buyers added flexibility, the automation components for both systems can interface to either engine.

For smaller format printing, the Heidelberg Quicksetter 300E can image paper, film and polyester plates. Its virtual drum technology supports a 10-micron spot size.
