Xante is “making an exciting comeback” to the Computer-To-Plate (CTP) sector with the upcoming release of its Digital Color Ilumina Heavyweight Champion multi-media digital printer with PlateMaker 7 inside. This latest update features a process-free, chemical-free, polyester CTP system that allows users to print on myriad 2 polyester plates. These platemaking capabilities are contained entirely inside of the Adobe Postscript Ilumina Heavyweight Champion Digital Print System, and produce higher quality offset printing plates by eliminating background toning.
PlateMaker 7 will be included in the iQueue XI Workflow, the newest version of Xante’s iQueue Workflow series. The printer features ultra-thick printing capabilities on a wide array of media including letterhead, envelopes, NCR, extra thick card stocks, product packaging, POP displays, table tents, door hangers, menus, oversized banners and more. PlateMaker 7 capabilities will be offered as a free upgrade to all existing Ilumina users. No specific release date for Canada or the U.S. was given.
