PlateWriter 3000 CTP Platemaker

PlateWriter 3000 - Press-ready aluminium plates - no chemical processing By utilising recent advances in imaging technology the PlateWriter™ 3000 series builds on our critically acclaimed 2000/2400 series. The new PlateWriter™ carries forward our environmentally friendly approach to plate making, by delivering press ready aluminium plates without any use of chemical processing. The PlateWriter™ 3000´s semi-automated plate registration system also provides a versatile plate handling approach which means multiple plate sizes and gauges can be used with no changes. The PlateWriter™ Series boast innovative technology and sets new standards for the cost, flexibility and speed of plate making for small to medium format commercial printers. An inexpensive alternative to film and conventional processors The Harlequin RIP software quickly and efficiently readies your files for print - so you get the most out of your time and your plates An all inclusive solution including everything from the imaging engine and finishing unit with automated gumming station, to the Harlequin RIP with its own powerful hardware platform - without extra cost or space requirements There is no need for a processor, oven, rinse unit or conveyors Easy to use and maintain No need for skilled operators or special conditions - the plates are neither thermal nor light sensitive Can be placed in your regular office environment Glunz & Jensen iCtP business Unlike the subtractive process of conventional plate making, Glunz & Jensen's iCtP™ uses an additive approach. Advanced inkjet technology jets a patented Liquid Dot™ formulation onto the plate to add the areas we want to be oleophilic on the printing press. The plate passes through the iCtP Finishing unit to bond the image on to the plate. There is no light or thermally sensitive coatings associated with conventional CtP, so there is no coating to remove thus no processor and no need for processing chemistry. The simple, no-fuss approach to imaging directly onto plates makes iCtP plate makers easy to use and environmentally friendly. The lack of film in the plate making process provides for a number of cost advantages as there is no need for a film processor and its associated chemistry and there is no requirement for the manual planning of films prior to plate making. And ultimately, digitally color separated plates are so accurate that make-ready times are significantly reduced.
