Dimension Pro: Chemistry-Free, CTP Imaging Solutions
The Dimension Pro family of platesetters provides high performance, ease of use and low cost of operation to make your business more capable, profitable and competitive. The Dimension Pro Series includes the 4-page Dimension Pro 400 Series and the 8-page Dimension 800 Series. These highly productive platesetters range in production speeds from 15 to 50 plates per hour. Presstek Dimension Pro platesetters, imaging up to 450 lpi (180 l/cm) with a 20 micron spot size, are ideal for use with Presstek’s thermal plates and also image a range of low energy (830 nm laser) third-party thermal plates.
Dimension Pro 400 Series platesetters offer 39” (990mm) maximum plate sizes so six-page press operators do not need to purchase a larger platesetter than they need.
The complete Dimension Pro Series offers finer line screen ruling with enhanced accuracy by automatically adjusting image size to compensate for thermal plate expansion and contraction. Dimension Pro 443 and 815 Plus models can be configured with factory-installed automatic loading and unloading functions for even greater productivity.
Dimension Pro systems easily integrate with industry-standard workflow solutions including Presstek’s Latitude and Momentum Pro.
