Presstek

Ideally suited for in-plants, the Presstek Vector TX52 system, using Freedom Plates, provides an affordable, small-format (52cm and under), chemistry-free CTP solution, plus the added benefit of imaging high-quality metal plates for a competitive price as compared to polyester. Freedom plates do not require baking, special cleaning fluids or gumming, resulting in great press performance, as well as less waste material. The system supports run lengths up to 25,000 impressions.
