Ready Print of Cobourg, Ontario added a Glunz Platewriter 2000 computer-to-plate system to its production facility, which focuses on both small-format digital work and craft-based printing.
Ready Print opened for business in 1978 during the height of the quick-printing era. In 2003, Peter and Renee McLachlan, owners of Paperworks in Port Hope, took over Ready Print and consolidated the two businesses. In addition to small-format printing, the company today provides a range of services like graphic design, mailing and direct mail, booklet finishing and letterpress.
The Glunz Platewriter 2000, purchased through PDS Pressdown, is described by Glunz as a second-generation iCtP system that produces press-ready aluminum plates without the use of chemical processing. The Platewriter 2000, using patented aqueous Liquid Dot technology, produces imaging resolutions of 1,440 x 1,440 dpi or 2,880 x 2,880 dpi. Working with a range of plate sizes, the system can image a 15.7 x 20.1-inch plate in eight and a half minutes.
