We'll Show Those Commerical Printers

At drupa, Heidelberg expanded Prosetter's automation with a multiple-cassette loader capable of handling up to four cassettes on line, each of which can process 150

6-mm, or 100 12-mm plates. Heidelberg also featured its Plate-on-Demand concept, designed to integrate the Prosetter and Suprasetter directly with the pressroom. Using Heidelberg's Prinect CP2000 Center and the new MetaDimension 5.0, a press operator can select a job or plate on the touch screen and start plate imaging. A Prosetter with full automation then allows the plate to be fed, slipsheet removed, then imaged, punched, and processed.
