• Increase productivity by reducing make-ready time. Plate mounting is faster when the plates are accurately cut.
• Eliminate ruined plates caused by slippage when cutting with razor blades.
• Trim off strips as narrow as a pencil line … accurately and safely.
• Produce perfect bevel cuts for butt joints on reverse printing plates, resulting in a minimum plate gap.
• Many jobs can be mounted at press-side without a plate mounter when plates have been cut square and parallel to copy.
• This is an ideal method to cut plates for slugging in copy changes
  

Straight line copy or register marks on see-through photopolymer plates are easily aligned with the work table grid to produce straight and square cuts. Polyester backings on photopolymer plates are cleanly cut. An adjustable work lamp concentrates light exactly where you need it.

CUTTING STICKS
The knife blade contacts the cutting stick slightly off center, so each durable cutting stick provides eight new cutting surfaces before needing a replacement. Each Plate Cutter is shipped with one extra cutting stick. Additional sticks are available in packages of six.
