Digital direct-to-plate

With the introduction of the ABDick Digital Plate Maker (DPM), Multi Media Services is able to eliminate many time-intensive, manual procedures previously need to make plates. This new technology ensures a smooth production cycle in the traditional printing department. The DPM can utilize electronic files directly from the graphic design department and produce plates ready for the presses without the hassle of stripping negatives or manually burning plates. The DPM images plates at 2,400 dpi resolution. The result is higher productivity, better quality and shorter turnaround time on all printing.
