Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, an imaging apparatus is provided for forming images on an electrically conductive printing plate. The imaging apparatus has a mounting surface having at least three electrically isolated conductors arranged so that when the electrically conductive printing plate is in registration on the mounting surface, the electrically conductive printing plate defines an electrical connection between all of the electrical conductors; and, an electrical circuit adapted to sense an electrical connection between all of the conductors and to thereupon generate an output signal.
