COMPUTER-TO-CONDUCTIVE ANODIZED AND GRAINED PLATE PLATESETTING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS

摘要

ABSTRACT A platesetting system and apparatus for providing computer-to-plate electrophotographic printing to a conductive plate. The apparatus may include an electrophotographic printer adapted to include an electrically isolated media path for receiving a conductive plate. A conductive plate may include anodized and grained aluminum (AL) that does not include a light sensitive emulsion layer in a finished product. The plate may be adapted to include rounded corners. The plate may be adapted to include a protective leading edge. The plate may be fused using the absorbed light of a radiant heat source.
