Drupa--Direct Imaging Takes Center Stage

A.B.Dick showed off its range of platesetters and presses, including the Colour digital offset press, an entry-level four-color press. Introduced at Drupa were the 9995-ICS and 9995A with ICS two-color presses. The 9995-ICS features A.B.Dick's ICS ink control system,which takes image color data from prepress systems and uses it to preset ink ducts. The 9995A with ICS features a new semi-automated plate changing system, which reduces plate changing to under two minutes. Both have a maximum sheet size of 13.3x17.7˝ and can output 10,000 iph.
