Print 01 The Future Takes Shape In Chicago

Purup-Eskofot introduced platesetters for both high-volume and smaller in-plants. The PlateDriver has the ability to load, expose and punch plates in landscape and portrait mode, and can operate unattended for 24 hours. The plate load path has been shortened by 40 percent, adding speed and accuracy. The PlateDriver produces 29 plates/hour at 2,400 dpi and 42 plates/hour at 1,200 dpi. Purup-Eskofot also demonstrated the DPX 5080 digital platesetter. It exposes polyester plates for small presses, offering drum quality at a capstan price. The daylight loading 5080 outputs 45 plates/hour at 900 dpi.
