Increase
productivity by
reducing make-ready time. Plate mounting is faster when the plates
are accurately cut.
Eliminate
ruined plates caused by slippage when cutting with razor blades.
Trim off
strips as narrow as a pencil line accurately and safely.
Produce
perfect bevel cuts for butt joints on reverse printing plates,
resulting in a minimum plate gap.
Many jobs
can be mounted at press-side without a plate mounter when
plates have been cut square and parallel to copy.
This is an
ideal method to cut plates for slugging in copy changes
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Plate cutting and plate
mounting are significant factors in your production costs. Plate Cutters
from Web Techniques, available in two models, will speed up your make-ready
process and improve accuracy at all stages of production. (See Benefits
section above.)
Straight line
copy or register marks on see-through photopolymer plates are easily
aligned with the work table grid to produce straight and square
cuts. Polyester backings on photopolymer plates are cleanly cut.
An adjustable work lamp concentrates light exactly where you need
it.
CUTTING STICKS The knife blade contacts the cutting stick slightly off
center, so each durable cutting stick provides eight new cutting
surfaces before needing a replacement. Each Plate Cutter is shipped
with one extra cutting stick. Additional sticks are available in
packages of six.

BEVELED
CUTS Perfect bevel cuts for butt joints on reverse printing
plates are automatically produced by the unique design of the Plate
Cutter blade. This bevel is produced without tilting the work table
surface.
