D-Stat Platemaking System™ With more and more digital files coming into quick response,
small commercial and in-plant printshops, managers
are establishing digital workflows while still receiving a fair amount of
hard copy and camera-ready materials for printing. Now, with one easy-to-use system - the D-Stat Platemaking System™ - press-ready plates can be produced
from both digital files and hard copy originals in a desktop environment.
This revolutionary product will replace conventional cameras and platemakers for short run one- and two-color work up to
100 lpi. This system provides a low-cost, flexible solution to
‘multi-media’ originals. It comes complete with ABDick’s
ScanMaster software, color scanner, computer
workstation, Harlequin® RIP – and a compact desktop platesetter
that uses a clean, thermal ribbon technology to image onto polyester plates. Say goodbye to limitations of optical platemaking
and take advantage of the benefits of a completely digital workflow –
including better quality and easier updates with fewer steps for faster
turnaround. ScanMaster® software lets you
create a digital document from any hard copy original(s) – even pre-screened
ones. There’s no need to switch between (and understand) various text,
scanning and layout programs. It’s all done via ScanMaster’s
easy-to-use graphical interface on the D-Stat workstation. Originals may be
color or black and white, camera-ready or pre-printed. They may contain text,
line art, photos, solids, tints and gradients. In essence, you’ll do a ‘digital paste-up.’ Simply scan in the
document (or pieces of documents) and position them precisely on the layout.
Then, make fine adjustments to any or all elements on the page if desired.
Brighten a dim image, sharpen text, add a logo or block of text, define an
area with color, swap out a photo, etc. After creating the perfect digital document, preview and print
out your plates. You can keep the finished document for future runs.
Conventional methods do not allow such flexibility. |
