Print 01 The Future Takes Shape In Chicago

For four-up jobs, Purup-Eskofot, fresh from its merger with Barco, demonstrated the DotMate 7500P imagesetter, with an internal drum and maximum film exposure area of 24x29.5˝. Resolution ranges from 1,200 to 3,600 dpi.

Another new four-page model came from CreoScitex. The Dolev 4press V2 imagesetter uses a very fast spinner, which rotates at 60,000 RPM to produce 33 four-page press size films per hour at 2,540 dpi. Currently in beta testing, the Dolev 4press V2 system exposes polyester plates and film. For an entry-level CTP system, the Dolev 4press V2 imagesetter features very high productivity and yields impressive output quality. It will be available for purchase in November 2001.
