Platemakers

Computer-to-plate (CTP) technology was out in force at Print 01. A.B.Dick expanded its Digital PlateMaster line to include the DPM2404, a slightly smaller version of the DMP2508. With a maximum plate size of 15.9x20.8˝, the DPM2404 images direct to silver plates. Resolutions range from 1,200 to 3,600 dpi, with integrated punching on the drum and an internal drying system.
