New CTP Gets Idle Press Back In Action
The University of North Carolina-Wilmington’s in-plant has added a Presstek Vector 52 chemical-free computer-to-plate (CTP) device.
“We started to look at chemical-free platemakers because we wanted to get the Shinohara back online,” Barrett notes.
That search ended with the installation of a new Presstek Vector 52 chemical-free computer-to-plate (CTP) device with Momentum Rip 8.0 software for the shop’s prepress department.
“Now we have a platemaker that can produce variable-sized plates to satisfy the needs of the ABDick and Shinohara presses,” Barrett proclaims. “Yes, the per-plate cost is a little more expensive, but we don’t have the downtime waiting for an outside vendor to burn us a plate, and we are keeping our staff busy.”
