Direct-to-plate serves three
ideas: Efficiency. Economy. Environment. Direct-to-plate produces exceptional
commercial printing products in less time than conventional platemaking.
Smith-Edwards-Dunlap and our customers save time and money through shorter
production times and lower material costs. Direct-to-plate is also safer
for the environment because direct-to-plate does not use dangerous chemicals
found in conventional platemaking.
Efficiency. Direct-to-plate printing increases the
productivity of the prepress process. Each high-grade aluminum plate
can be created in six minutes or less. Multiple jobs can be run through
a platemaker at any given time. But the best part is…
…Economy. Smith-Edwards-Dunlap
saves customers money. Imposition software. Decreased film cost. Shortened
processing. Less work for SED’s expert employees in stripping,
proofing, and platemaking. Faster press make-readies. The result: lower
cost and faster turnaround for all SED customers. The bottom line is
about…
…Environment.
Direct-to-plate printing transfers files electronically to a machine
that outputs the high-grade aluminum plate. Sometimes called computer-to-plate,
direct-to-plate does not use the hazardous chemicals necessary for traditional
platemaking and film processing.
