Question on Distributorship of Laser Polyester Plates
QUESTION
Hello Rob I ‘m a U.S national and I have a printing press based out of India but I want to expand it to the USA. I want to start to distribute/export Polyester laser plate. I was wondering if you would be able to help me out or give me any advice.
Thanks
Bharat
ANSWER
Hello Bharat,
There are some manufacturers of polyester plates in India. I am not sure of the others and I don’t remember their names also right now. The only ones that we use are from Technova. But I believe their plates are distributed in the US by Hurst Chemical if I am not wrong. Technova plates are suited for all types of laser printers and their cost is also quite cheap compared to ones such as from Xante. I believe it might help you if you contact Technova directly in India or Hurst Chemical in the US. I think it might be best to become a distributor of Smart Plates by Hurst Chemical.
Robert.
Technova’s own CTP solution
Technova is expected to come out with its own CTP (Computer To Plate) which will cost around Rs. 55,00,000 ( Rs. 55 lakhs) very soon.
