This year at IPEX, a NEW addition to the iCtP PlateWriter line-up will be unveiled. Built on the very latest advances in inkjet technology the PlateWriterTM 3000 is aimed at small to medium printers, and is up to 4 times faster than existing models.
The National PlateMaking Scrappage Scheme introduced for IPEX means up to £4,000 scrappage allowance offered by Glunz & Jensen, to scrap old traditional, energy hungry or chemical based plate making solutions and to help customers go green and create a profitable future strength for their printing business.
GO Green at IPEX – Glunz & Jensen shows, what it believes to be some of the most environmentally friendly plate makers available today. Glunz & Jensen inkjet CTP solutions are chemistry free, environmentally friendly and can save a whopping 90% in energy compared to traditional film based plate making.
In Detail:
The launch of the new 3rd generation inkjet plate making solution from Glunz & Jensen
The PlateWriterTM 3000, uses the NEW generation of super high density print heads from Epson, and boasts virtual Macro-Piezo technology, which effectively doubles the number of imaging elements on the CTP imaging array. At the same time, the number of imaging channels used is effectively doubled by re-written firmware developed by Epson for Glunz & Jensen. The result is a 3 – 4 times faster PlateWriterTM 3000!
In addition, the PlateWriterTM incorporates an upgraded plate alignment system for improved registration. This utilises registration pins that rise automatically when a plate is loaded, an audible tone is then generated as the plate achieves register, then the pins automatically withdraw as the plate is “set” for imaging.
Glunz & Jensen launch PlateMaking Scrappage Scheme for UK printers.
At IPEX, Glunz & Jensen introduce the National PlateMaking Scrappage Scheme.
Glunz & Jensen’s chemistry-free, energy-saving CtP plate makers are incredibly affordable. However, to help printers further, the National PlateMaking scrappage scheme could provide up to £4,000 towards a brand new iCtP PlateWriterTM when customers scrap their old chemistry-based plate making system.
UK printers and in-plants could save both energy and money by taking out their old, inefficient chemistry-based plate making system and replacing it with a new ultra energy efficient, chemistry-free plate maker from Glunz & Jensen. In addition, the print shops that previously made plates using film based solutions could cut their carbon emissions by 90% and produce environmentally friendly products for their customers.
