Direct Imagesetter replacement

Star Plate is a digital imaging solution designed for direct inkjet to film with the ability to produce high quality halftone screening.

Star Plate preserves dot patterns, screening, text and fine lines, right down to 1pt type.

Linear & Dot gain calibration

A user-friendly interface allows for multiple calibration curves to be generated to suit various press conditions.
Star Plate also has a Press dot gain function which allows current and target data to be entered to build press dot gain curves.

High Density films

The Star Plate solution has been created to produce Imagesetter quality positive and negatives.
The resultant high density films are perfect for Flexo or Letterpress platemaking or for Silk Screen exposure.

A high gauge nano-porous film specially developed for easy handling and storage achieves a D.Max of between 4.5 and 5.5.

Smart Screen

Smart Screen is an award winning Flexo and Letterpress screening technology.

Incorporating Smart Screen into Star Plate allows users to produce high quality screened negatives, perfect for Flexo or Letterpress plate making with the resultant plates displaying visually superior tonal ranges on press, particularly in highlight areas.

Chemistry free

Star Plate Inkjet production allows films to be produced under daylight conditions without the need for post processing.

As a result, users not only save production steps but also negate the need for purchase, storage or disposal of chemistry.

Calibration Curves

The calibration setup creates calibration curves to suit different press dot gain requirements. Adjustments can be easily performed in the Star Plate allowing fine tuning of the calibration curve..
