Recently, J P Imaging, amongst their experimental Miracle Plate* technology, has demonstrated a unique concept – that of switching an uncoated litho ‘blank’ uncoated plate from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The benefits of this technology, if it becomes a product, is the potential elimination of all chemicals inward plate coating, organic solvents from the coating process, equally good equally all requirements for processing equipment too associated chemistry. It would too convey major environmental benefits past times drastically reducing the need for aluminum inside the printing industry.
The annunciation has renewed involvement inward option ways to icon plates for outset lithography. One such option was demonstrated equally a proof of concept at GraphExpo inward 2000. The CreoScitex "SP Plateless Technology" was a plate imaging arrangement where a plate could last imaged, too reimaged, past times spraying an ink receptive coating (Agfa Lightspeed) on it piece the plate was mounted on press. Rather than manufacturing, cutting, too transportation plates that could last used alone 1 time - printers would simply buy the ink receptive liquid coating.
Please press the play arrows to persuasion the video. Note that they may terminate for a minute piece the video buffers inward the background.
This 1 infinitesimal video uses animation to explicate how the straight on press ("DOP") SP Plateless Technology works.
This xi infinitesimal video is the alive demonstration presented past times Doug Richardson (now CEO of General Fusion Inc.) of the CreoScitex SP Plateless Technology using a Shinohara press at GraphExpo inward 2000.
The Haida mask images were my pocket-size contribution to this project.
