ABSTRACT:
A system for generating from unimaged plates a plurality of exposed lithographic plates to be provided to a press for use in printing. The system is for use with a film exposer for exposing a negative which includes an identifying code identifying the negative. An exposing station has a first reader for reading the identifying code and has an exposer for exposing a number of unimaged plates to generate an image thereon from the exposed negative. The number of exposed plates corresponds to the identifying code read by the reader. A bending station has a second reader for reading the identifying code on the exposed plates and has an optical punch bender for bending the exposed plates in accordance with information corresponding to the identifying code. An inspection station has a third reader for reading the identifying code on the bent plates and has an inspection unit for inspecting the bent plates to determine whether a particular bent plate has parameters which correspond to parameters defined by the identifying code of the particular bent plate whereby inspected plates which pass inspection and have labels thereon are provided to the press for use in printing.
