Freedom chemistry-free thermal plates combine the performance characteristics of metal-based plates with state-of-the-art printing plate technology. After imaging, Freedom plates are automatically cleaned with water in the Vector TX52's integrated plate washer. Freedom plates require no baking, special cleaning fluids, or gumming, resulting in less waste material and a more environmentally friendly print shop.
Freedom plates - the lowest priced chemistry-free thermal CTP plates on the market - are ideally suited for short-run printing with run lengths up to 25,000.
Consistent, repeatable thermal imaging
Thermal imaging technology brings new freedom to CTP workflow, delivering sharp, well-defined, highly repeatable images. Plates are free from the inconsistencies inherent in conventional chemistry-based platemaking systems.
Exceptional on-press performance
In addition to enhancing productivity in the prepress department, Vector TX52 CTP also improves productivity in the pressroom. Freedom plates perform extremely well on press, delivering many of the familiar performance characteristics and stability of conventional aluminum plates. A unique surface structure on the plate results in exceptionally fast makeready, greater ink/water latitude and excellent durability. In addition, Freedom plates accommodate a wide range of industry standard inks and fountain solutions with the added benefit of less pressroom chemistry consumption, as compared to conventional offset plates.
Total compatibility
The Vector TX52 is compatible with Presstek's Momentum Workflow. The Momentum Workflow is a system of hardware devices and software modules engineered to seamlessly manage a job from prepress to press. It's an integrated, flexible solution that can be customized to fit your particular production environment. This means that users of Digital PlateMaster systems already using a Momentum Workflow can easily upgrade to a new chemistry-free Vector TX52 CTP system with virtually no disruption to established operating procedures.
