The PlateRite Ultima is a remarkable large, multi-format CTP system
offering unprecedented speed and flexibility. This unique CTP device
does not fit into standard plate format categories commonly defined
by the industry, and will find broad appeal among printers that utilize
a mix of large-format and conventional format offset presses, as well
as web printers within the book and magazine sectors. The PlateRite
Ultima affords printers with large-format presses high productivity
and automatic plate handling. It provides an extremely wide range
of plate support, from 2-page to 32-page plate formats. This benefits
printers that operate large-format presses, in addition to printing
firms that also have 4-page and 8-page presses. The PlateRite Ultima
incorporates GLV™ (Grating Light Valve™) technology. This innovative
imaging technology for high-power thermal CTP applications ensures
high productivity and imaging quality.

on plate sizes and types can be programmed in, and recalled later
from memory. By selecting the desired plate from a menu, drum balance
and other settings are automatically adjusted to fit the selected
plate. In addition, punch settings can be saved together with plate
information, so that the appropriate punch configuration is also selected
automatically at set-up time.
