Abstract
The present invention provides a flat bed platesetter system and a method for its use, particularly for imaging printing plates. For providing a precise, continuous, rapid and format-independent system which is reliable, the present invention suggests to move the printing plate relative to a stationary bridge carrying a radiant energy emitting head by means of a low inertia carriage member effectively connecting the printing plate and drive means.
