Overview

Plate Controller is a comprehensive job placement solution for sheet-fed, web offset and flexo printing in the market. It allows user to do special jobs such as step-and-repeat, box die-cuts and special shape labels as well as precision alignment for double-sided printing. It also accepts both PDF and post-RIP file formats* for user to expand their workflow productivity.

With Plate Controller, user can define templates for easy and quick placement of jobs. On-screen preview ensures that all mistakes are caught before the plate is exposed. Optionally, your plate can also be proofed by StarProof, our Actual Dot proofing solution.

Plate Controller therefore offers all the functionality, flexibility and precision you will ever need in a busy prepress environment.

* Only one format is available in standard, the second format is available as option.
