ABDick Vector TX52 Metal CTP

A Unique, Complete System

The ABDick Vector TX52 thermal plate-setter and Freedom chemistry-free plates provides the short-run, small format (52cm and under) printer with a unique metal platemaking solution for higher productivity, cleaner operation and lower production and material costs. It’s the first fully integrated, chemistry-free thermal metal CTP system on the market – and the world’s lowest priced.

This system is designed for maximum ease-of-use to streamline your entire platemaking operation while delivering the speed, quality and performance you need to meet customer demands.

The ability to operate in normal room conditions allow this CTP unit to fit into any environment. Handling and imaging plates in normal room lighting eliminates the costs and special provisions required for safe-light and darkroom conditions.

 
Chemistry-Free Platemaking

Vector CTP is a chemistry-free system. Plates are simply cleaned with water (inside the unit) after imaging. Plus, Freedom plates do not require baking, special cleaning fluids or gumming for use which results in less waste material and reduced environmental impact.

Freedom PlateFreedom plates – the lowest priced thermal CTP plates on the market – are ideally suited for the short-run market, handling run lengths up to 25,000.

 
Thermal imaging Technology

Thermal imaging deliver-s clean, sharp, well-defined and highly repeatable images. Plates are free of the inconsis-tencies in image quality associated with emulsion variances, exposure problems, chemical aging, processor condition and environmental changes.

 
Innovations Promote Lower Costs

ABDick innovations such as the built-in plate washer and ThinDrum™ technology, along with Pressktek’s new thermal laser design, allow for lower manufacturing costs. We pass the savings onto our customers.

With an ABDick ThinDrum™, there’s less drum surface area to come into contact with the plate. Multiple support “ribs” form the plate into the optimal cylindrical shape for imaging by the Presstek SureFire laser. The fully integrated plate wash delivers clean, press-ready plates without the need for a separate processor (or the space and expense another unit brings).

 
Exceptional On-Press Performance

In addition to enhancing productivity in the prepress area, the Vector TX52 also improves productivity in the press-room.

ABDick Freedom plates perform extremely well on press, delivering all the familiar per-formance characteristics and stability of conventional aluminum printing plates. A unique surface structure on the plate results in exceptionally fast makeready, greater ink/water latitude and excellent durability.

Freedom plates accommodate a wide range of industry standard inks and fountain solutions with the added benefitof less chemical consumption on press than conventional offset and other CTP plates.
