Plate Action

Heidelberg introduced the Saphira Quickplate 46, which allows the Quickmaster DI to produce well defined jobs with hard-edged structures that are extremely accurate and consistent. Run lengths exceed 20,000 impressions.

At the Presstek exhibit, attendees were standing in the aisles to get a peek at the live printing demonstrations of the process-free Applause plates. The plates were imaged on a Dimension 400 CTP system and printed live on a Komori Lithrone 420 press. Applause plates eliminate processors, safelights and chemistry. They also provide faster roll-up and makeready, greater ink/water latitude and more reliable reprints.
