Summary<br />
1. Internal Ct-Plate is not interesting for digital imprint<br />
applications because of the long changing times (~ 15 min)<br />
and the plate material costs. It is an intermediate state.<br />
2. Ct-PRESS is on the way, but today there is no proofed solution.<br />
3. Now, MAN’s DICOweb has to show it’s advantages in praxis. It is a<br />
very future oriented concept, but surely not the last version of<br />
CtPRESS.<br />
4. The DICOweb today is not a upgrade kit for adding an imprint unit to<br />
existing presses but a totally new investment.<br />
Technically, at DRUPA 2004 more usable technologies for<br />
newspapers could be available, if the manufactures decide<br />
early to work on it. We have to push their R&D activities!<br />
