PlateWriter 3000

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.

In addition the sophisticated design of the PlateWriter™ 3000 delivers the highest productivity of all the PlateWriter series, making it suitable for higher volume users in comparison to the PlateWriter 2000/2400 series.

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”
