The PlateWriter™ jets a patented Liquid Dot™ chemical solution on to nonphotosensitive aluminum printing plates. The imaged plates are manually fed through a plate-finishing unit that dries the plates and bonds the liquid dots to the plate surface. The platefinishing unit has a built-in gumming station to the plates and protect them from damage before going to press.

Key Benefits:

  • Affordability – Significantly lower investment than the cost of current, laser-based plate imaging systems 
  • Ease-of-use – Operates in daylight conditions; no pressroom changes are required to plate clamping or press chemistries
  • Reduces plate production costs – The cost per plate is less than the cost of conventional metal platemaking methods
  • Environmentally friendly – No disposal of processing chemicals into the waste stream eliminating disposal costs
  • High quality output – FM or stochastic screening capable of emulating 175 conventional line screening
  • Flexibility – Any plate size in 2- or 4-up formats, wide range of thicknesses from .005” to .12”
