All it takes is a standard Epson Printer and Ink, the GenieJet RIP, a simple dryer and the star of the show, GenieJet polyester inkjet plates.
Many print shops may already contain much of the system.
GenieJet plates require no equipment modifications, no special handling or lighting and absolutely no chemical processing. In fact, all of your plate-making chemical storage, handling and disposal worries are eliminated the day you start using GenieJet plates. The system also doubles-up as color printing work-flow for proofs, posters, banners, etc.
The GenieJet work-flow is just as straightforward. Design the job using your choice of software, print the job to the RIP, image the plate on the Epson, and pass it through the dryer. Your plate comes out press ready. Simply mount the plate, wet it and print.
