A computer-to-plate system that is not aimed at high endcommercial printers! More and more digital files are coming intoprint shops, small offset printers, in-plant and others. Thiscompact platesetter is the affordable repro solution for printerswith a PC or MAC.
Producing offset printing plates has long been a photographicprocess, using optical devices, pre-sensitized materials andprocessing units with chemicals. It has also been a time consumingjob.
CTP technologies has brought simple workflow to the plate makingprocess, but until now was aimed at high-end commercial printerswho could afford to install expensive systems.
Small offset printers need an economical, affordable CTPsolution. The answer from Kimoto is the Kimosetter 410 andKimoplate e2. These two combined together offer a compact,non-chemical system, which fits next to the designer's computer. Itestablishes a new process solution; Desktop CTP.
