CTP for Toray waterless plates

[donslav12]

Hi
Excuse me if I am repeating previous thread, but I could not find any relevant info on the subject.
Our company is using negative waterless plates on a narrow web machine and we are looking to buy a CTP that can handle 500+ plates per mount. At the same time the CTP will have to process conventional plates as well.

Any ideas and/or suggestions will be most appreciated.

Regards
S.

Toray plates are certified on the Suprasetter so this will not be a problem. Do you mean that you will also have to image conventional thermal plates on the CtP too? If the is the case, the Suprasetter is also certified on over 40 different plates.

Hope this helps.

Magnus 400 can as well, to be honest every {thermal} (edited by Jaco) platesetter will expose Toray plates, the difference is processor and chemistry.

LoWang,

Toray is a thermal sensitive plate so the CtP must be a thermal laser CtP. Most all thermal CtP have been qualified with Toray but not all are. Do not assume a CtP is. Best bet would be sure by asking the vendor on their plate qualifications.

As LoWang said the Magnus400 is known to handle these plates very well. As far as procesossors go , I thing that you will need two different processors to handle Toray plates and conventional plates.

Works pretty good on Presstek Dimension setters...

I think that Screen is best for waterless plates. There is no problem with plate loading and displacement sensors during exposure.

Stochast, can you give some information on imaging toray CTP plates on Dimension Excel. I tried but there is no image formation on the plate.
