Introducing Thermal Compositor

Thermal Compositor is the missing link between Delta-to-Plate systems and the quick front to back industry standard Dylux proof. Thermal Compositor makes it possible to create electronic "bluelines" from your Delta Rip. Thermal Compositor merges the color separations in the original Delta job and then creates a
new composite grayscale Delta job, i.e. a Delta job with only one separation. The ultimate job can be output on plate-proofing material, such as DuPont's Thermal Dylux(R), directly from the plate-setter attached to the Delta Rip. This process yields superior yet cost-effective imposition proofing.

Thermal Compositor supports spot colors, the Delta Trapper and the full job resolution, allowing you to see all elements at the correct size and shape. Images are produced on the material with one proofing pass.

Coated on both sides of the paper-based media, DuPont Dylux® Thermal Blueline yields instant front and back images upon exposure to 830 nm wavelength light. It is loaded in a manner similar to that utilized with aluminum plates and imaged with the same optics, laser and screening that are used to image the printing plate. You can produce a high-resolution imposition proof in less than six minutes.
