Digital printing is often seen as the best option for low volume printing, due to the high price of preparing printing plates for offset printing; however, Glunz & Jensen is fighting that assumption with the successful PlateWriter series – an affordable system for making offset aluminium plates.

The iCtP™ PlateWriter Series plate making solutions from Glunz & Jensen utilize high definition inkjet technology to deliver Computer to Plate solutions aimed at the offset industry.

The PlateWriter uses high definition inkjet technology to jet a patented Liquid Dot™ chemical solution onto non-photosensitive aluminium printing iPlates. There are no light or thermally sensitive coatings to remove, as there is with conventional CtP, so there is no need for processing chemistry.
