ABSTRACT:
An imagesetting or platesetting system and method for transporting one or more sheets of media having varying stiffness and thickness includes the steps of: transporting the sheets through the system in a first direction (A); recording an image onto the sheets; and redirecting one or more of the sheets in a transverse direction (B) relative to the first direction (A). Preferably, this is accomplished using: a transport mechanism for transporting the sheets of media through the system in the first direction (A); an imager for recording the image onto the sheets; and a jogging mechanism for redirecting the sheets in the transverse direction (B). The jogging mechanism can be integrated or modular to the system. Moreover, the jogging mechanism can be used in both internal and external drum imagers.
