Chemistry-Free CTP Comes to Mankato
Minnesota State University-Mankato’s in-plant recently went chemical-free with a new Fujifilm computer-to-plate system. The 11-employee in-plant chose to go with a Fujifilm Dart 4300 and the Ecomaxx-T chemistry-free plate for several reasons.
“Other than the fact it is the right thing to do for our environment, going chemistry-free has been a project of mine for the past couple of years,” says Director of Printing Doug Fenske. “I was waiting for a plate that would work with our old CTP system. This hadn’t happened, and my planned life expectancy for the old system had reached my projected term of obsolescence. We previously had about four hours a day of staff time running the old system. The old RIP and imposition software was also cumbersome.”
