<p>The invention relates to an imaging system (1) for performing a computer-to-plate imaging process on printing plates (14). The system comprises a plate imaging bed (2) for exposing radiation to a printing plate (14), the bed (2) being provided with an input section (3) for receiving a printing plate (14) and an output section (4) for transferring the printing plate (14) to a chemical processing unit. The system further comprises a loading device for loading the printing plate (14) from a multiple plate stack (11) to the input section (3) of the plate imaging bed (2). The input section (3) is adjustable with respect to the output section (4) to adjust the position of the input section (3) to near the top of the multiple plate stack (11). The latter is accomplished in a preferred embodiment by providing the plate imaging bed (2) with a pivot axle (19) near the output section (4). A method for loading a printing plate is also proposed.</p> |
