Digital Press & Prepress Financing
Printing, Signs & Graphics › Digital Presses & Prepress
Digital color presses and computer-to-plate systems are the core of a commercial print shop, handling short runs digitally and imaging plates for offset jobs. Sunset Financial Group has funded numerous digital press and prepress equipment purchases for commercial printers.
Digital press and prepress financing covers new, used and refurbished equipment, from a single CTP laser head to a production digital color press.
Equipment We Finance
Production Digital Color Presses
High-volume digital color presses for short runs, variable data and fast turnaround.
Digital Color Printers
Light production digital color printers and copiers for proofs and short runs.
CTP Platesetters
Computer-to-plate systems that image offset plates directly from digital files.
Refurbished CTP Systems
Reconditioned and refurbished platesetters that cost far less than new.

Replacement laser heads and diode systems that keep a CTP running.
Plate Punches & Handling
Plate punch sets, cassette trolleys and other prepress handling equipment.

Finance the Whole Setup
Presses and prepress equipment need more than the machine. These can all be included in the same agreement:
- Inline and nearline finishing
- Print servers and workflow software
- Plate processors and punches
- Rigging and installation
- Operator training
- Service and setup
Why Printers Upgrade Their Press and Prepress
Profitable Short Runs
A digital press makes short runs and variable data jobs profitable.
Faster Plate Making
CTP images plates straight from the file, skipping film and saving time.
Refurbished Equipment Saves Money
Used and refurbished presses and CTP systems cost far less than new and can be financed the same way.
