Presstek's DI Equipped Presses To Fore At Drupa
Presstek manufacturer and marketer of digital imaging systems is showcasing its array of Profire enabled DI presses at Drupa 2004.
Presstek said that the Dimension Excel CTP systems are available in two-page and four-page models.
Dimension Excel is said to provide a high performance print system with a streamlined workflow and high quality printed results with Presstek's Anthem Pro grained plate.
The combination is claimed to provide a chemistry-free plate that does not require any gumming, baking or chemical processing and supports run lengths up to 100,000 impressions.
The Dimension Excel series using Presstek's chemistry-free Anthem Pro plates, are said to provide the reliability, speed and quality that printers - especially mid-size and smaller shops - require.
Dimension Excel platesetters are available in two-page and four-page formats that can be configured as a standard (Dimension225 and 425) or as a high production (Dimension250 and 450) platemaker, said Presstek.
The company added that, unlike other chemistry-free CTP technologies on the market, Anthem Pro produces a visible, high-contrast plate that is daylight-safe before, during and after exposure.
Printers can visually proof the plate - the strong, black image is highly visible - and handle the plate in full daylight conditions without concern for fogging or post exposure.
Those features save time and are critical in avoiding costly mishaps and mistakes before mounting the plate on press, said Presstek.
Anthem Pro plates image at full rated speed, do not require baking, special cleaning fluids, or gumming resulting in great press performance, as well as less waste material.
Presstek's DI and CTP will be driven by Proxflow, the PDF-based workflow, developed by DIgraph, for claimed increased throughput.
