JetPlate CtP system

Hi everybody,
Has anybody had any experience with the JetPlate CtP system?
Any Pros and Cons?

I was thinking of this system as a 'starter' CtP system to go with GTO52's.

Thanks in advance.

I have never really seen or heard of anyone using this system. I would be interested to see if anyone has worked with, or know the quality this will produce

JetPlate CTP system

I would really not expect it to do 4 color registration work. From what I have heard, people are using it for one and two color work. If you are a serious enough printer that you have a heidelberg, you should look at a real serious CTP system that compliments it. I just don't think this jetplate stuff is of a comprable quality and nature to a Heidelberg press of any size. I welcome any users of that system to post their success stories and or experiences with that system, but from what I see and read, external drum thermal laser CTP is really what is needed in any quality printing endeavor.

I'm afraid I have zero respect for this type of machine, Though I do believe that anyone with the gumption to try to sell Epson inkjets for 30 thousand dollars probably needs a wheelbarrel to carry his ____ around.

For "cheap" CTP on a GTO, your best bet is 8 mil polyester, imaged in an ESKO DPX system.

Second best is the same material, imaged in an AGFA Avantra 25 Imagesetter, with online processing and cut to size.

I will pass this on. I know of an implant shop who just got rid of a lino 330 that the person who has it now is looking to turn it into making poly plates, or something like that.

We bought a JetPlate system a few years back. STAY AWAY. There are only cons.
