Technology Visions--Executive Matters

PlanetPrint.com on Thermal Plates
Operations manager Beth Hagen is finally satisfied. It's taken awhile, but Hagen firmly believes that Presstek's Anthem plates are the future of thermal CTP plates. "We are now imaging in the positive mode, run lengths are good and dot gain is under control."

Although the technology is still being developed, there was never any doubt that PlanetPrint.com would use thermal plates. "We realized early on that this was where the technology was going. We knew we needed to learn to work with it. We have beta tested all three of their plates. This last Anthem plate is by far the best to date," Hagen reports.
