Well Exact...

To date - 39 views - and no responses.
Perhaps that in itself answers your question.

You mention that you were looking for a system
that had little or no waste by-products, but then
the basys (a division of our partner Punch) uses
conventional plates - with conventional chemistry.

The cost/benefits of CTcP have less of the ROI
than in the early daze of CTP - as digital plates
are much more accessible - (supply and price).

Frankly - with the advent of chemistry-free plates,
I find much less interest in the commercial market
for a CTcP system. Yes, there remains interest in
newspapers - where quality is less demanding, and
plate price is more important. We ourselves serve
that market with different devices (made by Punch).

If little or no waste by-products is central to your
search - than I'd suggest a look at chemistry-free.
Agfa, Fuji & Kodak have joined PRST in this area.

Did you get a chance to visit Graphics Canada last week?
Our :Azura chemistry-free system attracted much interest.

FYI - our :Acento is also a Screen device.

Regards,
