California Shop Adds CTP/Press Combo
Previously, the four-employee Santa Maria, Calif.-based in-plant had been buying film outside, then stripping it and making plates. The shop had dabbled in CTP with the Xanté 5000 and Presstek’s D-Stat system, but Rivera decided it was time for a more decisive move. So he brought in the PlateWriter 2000 ink-jet CTP system, which produces press-ready aluminum plates without chemical processing.
