1998 Printware PlateStream 34 Color+ Platesetter – 110420114430

The Printware Platesetter is a compact, high resolution digital Platesetter for a range of small-format printing applications. Plates are exposed using a patented laser imaging system, and automatically processed.

The Platesetter is controlled by a Raster Image Processor (RIP); several different RIP options are available, depending on the most common type of work to be done. The system is driven by the host computer on which the operator composes the text and graphics to be imaged. Once the print job has been composed on the host computer, it is sent to the RIP, where it is prepared for imaging. The rasterized file is then sent to the Platesetter where the file is imaged onto a plate.
