The Wayback Thought – Sp Plateless Commencement Technology Scientific Discipline Inwards 2000

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.

Product Evolution – How Vendors Educate Products For The Graphic Arts Industry

In general, a engineering company's focus is on developing products that receive got a projected book of sales sufficient to comprehend the costs of development, manufacturing, productizing, together with going to marketplace amongst the destination of returning a specified margin of profit. Product evolution unremarkably has null to gain amongst whether the production is the correct product, or the best production to address the issue, or i that is best for the manufacture – it entirely has to gain amongst the potential render on investment for developing the product. Product evolution is an expensive fourth dimension consuming procedure together with and thence around companies volition accept a rigorous, organized, approach. Sometimes it may brand work of a period of time nautical chart similar this one: or this one to aid all the stakeholders encounter "the large picture" together with how the diverse functions gibe together inward the complex procedure of productio...

Eliminating Show-Through Inwards Scans And/Or Photocopies

Paper is a fairly translucent substrate. The thinner/lighter weight or higher character the newspaper the to a greater extent than translucent it is. The outcome is "show-through" - seeing a ghost icon of what was printed on the contrary side - whether reading the page itself or scanning/photocopying it. Scan alongside coloring bar as well as text on the adjacent page showing-through. Close upwardly thought of show-through. To eliminate show-through inward scans and/or photocopies, merely house a slice of dark newspaper behind the canvas that y'all are scanning. This evens out the tonality of the page as well as effectively eliminates show-through.
