PlateMaker 5 is, and has been, the best of a long line of very successful Xanté laser printers designed to make printing plates for small offset presses. It combines the ability to image the high quality Myriad Polyester Plate, with new technology that greatly reduces any possibility of background toner scatter. Other brands of polyester printing plates have tried for years to match the features of Myriad Plates, but have only achieved partial success because the laser printers used to image the plates did not have the ability to totally eliminate toner scatter. PlateMaker 5 is the only printer to achieve near perfection, and it is the only printer designed to image the chemical free Myriad Polyester plates. Now there are also paper plates, and Universal Polyester Plates available to reduce your costs even more. Why pay several thousand dollars for plate imaging equipment, when Xanté can give you up to 2400 dpi output directly on your plate for just the price of a good laser printer?
