ROI on CTP--To Buy or Not to Buy?

Already a high-volume user of Citiplate plates on its (pre-CTP) projection-platemaking systems, The West Group prints mostly small runs that average 5,000 impressions. Using some 600,000 plates each year, Yolitz is rightfully concerned with the cost of plates.

"basysPrint is going to save us $1.1 million a year on plate costs alone," says Yolitz. "That easily justifies the cost of the equipment."
