The Digital PlateMaster 34 SC/HSC from A.B.Dick Company is an easy-to-use, high-resolution platesetter designed for use with small-format portrait presses. This affordable direct-to-plate solution features a fully integrated Harlequin® RIP and internal polyester plate processor.
The DPM34 SC/HSC streamlines your workflow by seamlessly blending the precision and efficiency of digital platemaking with the functionality of conventional printing. Producing press-ready plates from your desktop computer eliminates many steps from the pre-press process. Less operator involvement and fewer materials are required which means greater accuracy, reduced costs and faster turnaround.
With screen rulings up to 175 lpi, the DPM34 SC/HSC is ideally suited for a wide range of applications – from simple spot color jobs to more intricate process color work. And, an image area of 12.6" x 19.2" (320 x 489 mm) lets you print two-up, full-bleed.
With A.B.Dick ThinDrum™ Technology, there’s less drum surface area to come into contact with the plate. A support “rib” forms the plate into the optimal cylindrical shape for imaging; and because it’s the reverse side of the plate that’s supported, the possibility of the plate’s surface being scratched is eliminated. This innovative design gives superior image definition and repeatability while maintaining high output speeds.
Jobs sent to the DPM are displayed in the Printers RIP queue. There, they can be re-prioritized and stored for later re-imaging – saving a trip back to the desktop for reprints. To ensure perfectly imaged and positioned plates, the Printers RIP includes a unique software feature for plate size and gripper margin setups. Output can be fine tuned to suit the individual characteristics of each press in the shop. Productivity enhancing in-RIP options include color proofing software and a fully automatic trapping solution.The optional ScanMaster™ System allows the merging of hard copy originals into an all-digital workflow.
