CTP and pre-press
Most suppliers do one or the other. Dennison specifies and installs plate making systems, and the same engineers support them for the next fifteen years. New and upgraded equipment from SCREEN, KRAUSE and NELA, and engineering support on installations we did not supply.
Where to start
Most enquiries are one of two things: specifying, supplying or upgrading CTP and plate automation equipment, or service and engineering support for an installation you already run. We do both, and the same engineers are involved either way.
Systems
Plate making systems designed around your plate volume and the space you have. New equipment from SCREEN, KRAUSE and NELA, refurbished platesetters, and an outright purchase or part exchange on what you are replacing.
Service
Service agreements, breakdown attendance, planned maintenance and technical support, on our own installations and on equipment somebody else supplied.
The manufacturers
Our relationship with each manufacturer is different, so they are set out separately rather than under one heading. Where we are not appointed, we say so and support the equipment independently.
Supplied, installed and supported. PlateRite Commercial images B1 and B2 plates at up to seventy plates an hour and up to 4,000 dpi. PlateRite Ultima takes plates up to 1600 × 2280 mm at 2,540 dpi. Both are SCREEN’s published maxima and depend on plate size, resolution, screening and configuration. The figure that matters is the one your own work produces, which we will size with you.
Supplied, installed and supported. The PowerLoader range stores up to 1,500 plates and feeds the platesetter at up to forty plates an hour, depending on the configuration. KRAUSE’s figures. This is the component that lets plate making run unattended.
Supplied, installed and supported. Everything between the processor and the press: transport, register punching, bending, and sorting into press order, with the plate surface handled throughout.
A service appointment rather than a sales one. We support Fujifilm’s own CTP customers on Fujifilm’s behalf, and we support our own Fujifilm customers under our own agreements. The same engineers cover both, and have done since the company was founded.
Why Dennison
Plate making is where the company began, in 1993, and we have installed, maintained and supported this equipment every year since.
Looking after your equipment
Plate making that stops takes the presses with it, so pre-press support is judged on a different standard to most equipment. Cover is matched to the equipment and to how hard you run it.
Cover depends on the equipment, its age and your production pattern, so the useful first step is a conversation about the machines, not a price list.
Discuss CTP service coverChanging your equipment
Not every site needs a new automated line, and a refurbished platesetter from our own workshop is often the better answer for volume that does not justify one. We also buy used CTP outright, or take it in part exchange, which is usually the difference between an old machine being an asset and a disposal problem.
Refurbishment is done in our workshop, tested before it ships, and warranted.
Correctly integrated transport, punching, bending and sorting reduce handling, damage, waiting and production errors.

Tell us the equipment, the plate volume and the site. Whether it is a new automated system, a refurbished platesetter or support on an installation somebody else supplied, the first conversation is the same one.
