A Profitable Solution for Short Runs

To compete in todays market, CTP production is required for cost-effective

offset printing. The dual function MEGA Thermal CTP and Film Imager System

brings printers added benefits with processless, chemistry-free platemaking and

film imaging. MEGA Thermal improves workflow efficiency with minimal operation

and production times while reducing material and maintenance costs. Its a

competitive edge to gain more jobs and increase your profitability.

MEGA Thermal is ideal for shops looking for an eco-friendly upgrade from analog

and electrostatic plates or replacing analog or imagestter film production while

eliminating any associated chemistries. This system produces high quality one

and two color jobs with paper-based, resin-coated MEGA Thermal Plates or

negative and positive film with MEGA Thermal Film.
