Workflow and CTP Solutions — Getting Better Bit by Bit

Heidelberg committed to offering a VLF platesetter that matches the larger plate size of its forthcoming wide-format sheetfed presses. It will leverage the design of the Suprasetter thermal product line.

Along with its 40th anniversary, Screen (USA) toasted the purchase of the 11,000th CTP device manufactured by its parent company. That machine went to a Brazilian printer, so the vendor added local flavor by presenting a plaque to Quad/Graphics for installing the landmark 11,111th Screen platesetter, a PlateRite Ultima 36000Z large-format (82.6x62.9?) model. A higher speed version, 36000ZX, that uses the latest GLV technology to image 33 pph (at 2,400 dpi) was introduced at the show.
