VIM Sees Successful Launch of Ink-jet CTP Solution

CHICAGO—September 30, 2009—VIM Technologies, a leading innovator in digital plate technology, successfully launched a new CTP system at PRINT 09 that images VIM polyester and aluminum plates on a standard Epson inkjet printer.

Called VIM-JT Direct Plate, the CTP technology provides small- and medium-sized printers with an affordable solution that streamlines their offset printing workflows to make printing more profitable.

The advancement means for the first time printers can cash in on all the cost- and time-saving advantages of CTP technology, without having to invest in an expensive dedicated platesetter and without employing any chemical processing or special solvent based inks or liquids.
