Everything that gets sent to an imaging device, i.e. platesetter, imagesetter, laser printer, ink jet, etc... gets turned into an image file at some point before going to the device. They are all just image plotters of one form or another. In the case of our large laser devices, 1 bit tiff is the way it's done, it's either a 1 or a 0, the bit is on or off since the plates are monochromatic.
