Why Buy an Imagesetter?

"In light of all the attention paid this year to computer-to-plate, we are seeing above-budget activity for Avantra 30 sales, and phenomenally high sales of Avantra 44s this year," reports Steve Musselman, Agfa's marketing manager for CTP and Apogee workflow systems. "With Agfa's ability to prepare the customer for CTP, the market is taking us up on our offer to install a four- or eight-up Avantra large-format imagesetter along with our Apogee computer-to workflow, in order to pave the way for a seamless upgrade to Agfa's Galileo digital platesetter."
