Operation Digital Output

Turning to Krause America, marketing attention is going to the eight-up LaserStar LS110, an internal-drum device that exposes printing plates and film. Krause has introduced its second generation 1064 thermal exposure head, which will expose plates substantially faster.

The basysPrint CTcP (computer-to-conventional plate) digital-UV platesetter can image any conventional offset plate, film or UV-sensitive proofing materials. However, when a Citiplate dual photopolymer-coated AQUA LHP plate is imaged, digital imaging and exposure times are up to 80 percent faster than with standard, single-emulsion conventional plates.
