Presstek PhD 830 - Thermal Pre-heat Digital Plate

Presstek PhD 830 plates are highly accurate and consistent. PhD 830 also requires less chemistry than competitive plate products. The ablation free plates are designed to use less laser power and to run at the fastest possible imaging speeds resulting in reduced operating cost. Presstek PhD 830 plates support screen resolutions of 1-99% at 300 lpi and are FM screening certified. In the pressroom the plate is highly resistant to pressroom chemicals and on-press abrasion. This level of performance combined with Presstek’s exceptional service team will help your operation maximize production time.
