Manesar-based Archies, Noida-based Karan Laminators and New Delhi-based Maurya Printers have bought the plates exposing devices.
ThermoStar T9 can expose plates from 400x300 to 1130x920 mm size at the speed of more than 20 plates an hour by using external drum technology.
Sanjay Jain of TechNova said nowadays printers are arranging all equipment under one roof to make their production hassle free and to minimise their dependency on plate bureaus. The increased number of CTP/CTCP devices is a result of that only.
