PRINT 05 PREPRESS WORKFLOW & CTP -- Streamlining the Prepress Process

All of the leading plates suppliers displayed chemistry-free or processless/non-process products in their booths, but versions also turned up in a few unexpected places. Each is touted as reducing the variability, costs and equipment footprint associated with CTP systems by eliminating the need for a processor. Exhibitors made a point to be specific about the type of technology they're offering, but less was made of any post-exposure treatments required with chemistry-free variations.
