Escher Grad Platesetter
The cobalt series of CTP systems is the latest innovation in Escher-Grad’s long history of achievements and service to the printing Industry.

Cobalt
Computer to Plate Systems
Revolutionary product at a revolutionary price
Increase quality, reduce operating costs
Simple to install, simple to use
Superior imaging speed and reliability
Fast payback, less than one year
Double the speed at half the price

Cobalt is simply the most advanced platesetter

  • Cobalt’s advanced violet laser-diode replaces complex optics with a single fiber, delivering more power to the plate at less cost
  • Cobalt’s internal drum, cast from the most advanced composite of granite and quartz, eliminates the effect of temperature variations and vibrations.
  • Cobalt’s control system, based on the latest PC technology, provides the most advanced web-based user interface and remote diagnostics.
  • Cobalt’s advanced imaging engine design, based on only two moving parts, delivers the ultimate in accuracy and reliability.

Cobalt CTP:
The obvious win-win investment

  • Faster make-ready times
    Consistency high quality plates =shorter make readies = more billade hours on press = increased profits
  • Lower paper wastage
    Faster press make-readies = lower paper wastage = reduced costs
  • Fastest time from digital file to plate
    No film processing, film chemistry, exposure frames on film handling = more plates per hour from the prepress department = increased productivity
  • Highest quality
    First generation dot = higher screens, (including stochastic), and less dot gain on press = higher quality printing = increased revenues
