Manufactured by AB Dick, which is now owned by Presstek, the Vector TX52 uses thermal imaging technology with internal drum. The solution is completely chemical free, operates in daylight, and the plates require no gumming.
Maximum plate size is 530x505mm, image resolution is 2400dpi giving a line screen of 200. GrafikaLinks will have the Vector TX52 as the centrepiece of its stand, and is pricing it at less than $100,000.
Mike Malone from GrafikaLinks says, “The Vector TX52 is ideal for small offset printers who want to produce the highest quality print with the minimum amount of fuss. The plate comes out of the CTP press-ready.”
