Hi Matt.

We certainly can't discount the huge impact Kreo has made in the industry.

Your comment was who "ships" more devices... and to me that means
market share - as in annual shipments. For devices - that's Screen. If
one is counting a single brand - then Creo certanly is up there - but now
we're splitting hairs. And, my figures do not count the former Topsetter
devices that HDM licensed from Screen.

Regardless, within the context of the original thread - I would agree
(naturally) with the suggestion to stick with the more common manu-facturers of Screen, Agfa - and of course I would add Fuji (FFEI), HDM and Kreo as being in that top tier - all mature technology from major players.

However, one can't rule out others - which might have more of a niche
here in the US - such as Luscher, or older steadfasts such as ECRM.

basys certainly has a fit - but with plate prices the way they are -
some are finding it harder to ROI a CTcP - especially relative to
newer benefits of processless or chemistry-free thermal systems.

Just like that old "commercial" on SNL - we're both right!

Regards,

Steve.
