Looking for low cost CTP

[ChrisL]

I got to get my penny pinching employer to make the leap from from film to CTP. We don't use enough plates to get any kind of deal from a supplier. Has anyone used the Epson Stylus Pro 7900CTP or chemistry free plates? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Try Chinese CTCP.. Just an idea

If you are suggesting CRON CTCP, I disagree! The maintenance cost is high. They have to hire a Trained service Tech and buy Service parts with their purchase as well.

Try the Epson 7900CTP. We have had one since July 2011 and are very happy with it.

As Craig said, look at the Epson 7900 ctp ( not the VIM Version). When your not running plates you can run banners.

Can you explain this. The Chinese CTCP really work.I think you are suggesting Cron CTCP. Right?

None of them! For many reasons I suggest Screen for reliability, low Parts, service and maintenance cost and much more. Screen machines are sold by Agfa, Heidelberg and Fuji under different brand names.

How many have you installed in the world? How many representatives do you have in the world?r Availability of service parts? What kind of Optic system Eastcom uses on the machine? 24 Sheets per hour seems too fast for a CTP System.

We are one of the leading CTP Plate manufacturers in China equiped with 2 production lines imported from UK and sells some 6 million sqm CTP all over the world annually. We are doing OEM for one leading foreign brand of CTP product. Our dealer in Korea is also dealer of EASTCOM CTP system. There are some 20 sets of Eastcom CTP systems running in Korea and so far so good until now. That is the reason why we always suggest our customer try Eastcom when they ask for CTP system. Eastcom sells around 120 sets of CTP systems in China and abroad annually. The plate setter of Eastcom has 64 channels of laser heads. 24 sheets/hr is the standard speed. If you use CTP smaller size than 1030*800, you can end up with some 30 sheets per hour. Other CTP systems might use 32 channels or even 16 channels of laser head, so they got lower speed.

According to Facebook page of Eastcom CTP, it looks like Screen PT-R8600S model. I think they copied everything from Screen laser head, or bought the parts from them. There is no official web page of Eastcom. Frankly speaking, buy second hand true brand-Screen, Kodak, Agfa, Fuji, Heidelberg etc.
