The Vector platesetter and Freedom plate are targeted at medium-sized printers that concentrate on the B3 market and those that want to upgrade from polyester plates.
The platesetter and plate are similar to Pressteks Dimension 200 and Anthem plate, but AB Dick wants them to appeal to printers on their environmental credentials.
"A lot of people are very interested in a chemistry-free solution, due to the current legislation on chemistry disposal," said UK general manager Ray Hillhouse.
A price had not been set as PrintWeek went to press, but Hillhouse indicated the Vector would cost less than the Dimension 200, which is 70,000.
