| SmartPlate™ The aim for the small commercial printer and quick printer is to take digital data and print it quickly in good quality and at a reasonable price. By using a laser printer and SmartPlate, the threshold for profit can be lowered from 1200 impressions to 100 impressions.
 Using a SmartPlate™ system effectively challenges the copier for service (turn around time), as well as profitability and quality. There are no lease payments, monthly maintenance agreements, or click charges. If the printer has the capacity (available press and operator) then labor costs the organization no additional dollars. Make ready for anything beyond 8-1/2 x 11-inch sheets copied on one side is unequivocally shorter for a press. In a very short amount of time, a shop with an inexpensive direct to plate system can make ready a job on a 11 x 17 inch perfecting press that runs three times faster than the fastest commonly used copier. The combination of the scanner, CRS, the laser printer, and SmartPlate, forges a link between electronic prepress and high quality printing using existing small offset presses.
