Thermal CTP's Next 100 Days

Gerber Systems, like other thermal device manufacturers, is patiently awaiting the dawn of widely available thermal plates—not just new product announcements, beta endeavors and controlled releases.

With much of its efforts devoted to engineering the Crescent 3030T, Crescent 42T and Crescent 68T family of internal-drum, 1,064nm platesetters, ranging in price from $175,000 to $725,000, respectively, Gerber is obviously justified in its passion for thermal plates.
