We are a small print shop wanting to upgrade to CTP and am considering these CTP options.
#1 - Mitsubishi Eco 1630 III silver digiplate system with capstan red laser imaging. It has a harlequin rip and is compact, uses little chemistry (eco friendly) and only has one poly plate supply roll.
#2 - Agfa Advantra 25 with online processor. This is a drum red laser imaging imagesetter. It has 2 supply rolls. It uses more chemistry from what I understand. The Agfa is reconditioned by Genesis Equipment in Phoenix and would have a new Harlequin rip.
The Agfa setup is about 1/2 the price of the Mitsubishi. $15K vx $30K
We will be using the plates for process color on a 3302 Ryobi and spot color on a Hamada landscape press that needs 15.5" wide plates.
Can a capstan platesetter create consistent plates for process color?
I would appreciate any input or recommendations.
Thank you, Dave Galle
