The invention relates to an imaging system for performing a computer-to-plate imaging process on printing plates. The system comprises a plate imaging bed for exposing radiation to a printing plate, the bed being provided with an input section for receiving a printing plate and an output section for transferring the printing plate to a chemical processing unit. The system further comprises a loading device for loading the printing plate from a multiple plate stack to the input section of the plate imaging bed. The input section is adjustable with respect to the output section to adjust the position of the input section to near the top of the multiple plate stack. The latter is accomplished in a preferred embodiment by providing the plate imaging bed with a pivot axle near the output section.
