Agfa and Screen are the big boys? Let's not forget who ships more CTP units, Creo.

There are a lot of different CTP units available. Many of them can be bought without buying a workflow to go with them. I've seen a lot of installations with Agfa Apogee and Creo Trensetters or Lotems. I've also seen a number of Prinergy/Brisque installations with Agfa platesetters.

First decide which technology you want, thermal, UV, visible light, etc. From there you will know who is on your short list. Make sure you get some sample plates for testing once you start to narrow down the choices. From there you can see if your workflow can drive the CTP unit and go from there.
