A variety of CTP solutions

Agfa will provide multiple CTP solutions for different customer needs in DRUPA 2000, and simulate four different production environments in the printing room of Hall 6 to demonstrate the actual workflows of publishing, commercial printing, packaging, printing and digital printing.

In terms of CTP products, Agfa will demonstrate its purple laser visible light imaging system, high-speed thermal imaging system and ablative thermal imaging system. There are several new products.

The GALILEO TALANT platemaking machine is a thermal platemaking machine that does not require development. It uses thermal ablation technology and an internal drum structure. It is printed on Agfa's new MISTRAL media with an accuracy of 300 lines per inch. Up to 500,000 prints.

The GALILEO THERMAL S Internal Drum Thermal Platesetter is a 1064nm laser light source with a motor speed of up to 20,000 rpm. It is imaged with the Agfa THERMOSTAR P971 plate and can be upgraded to GALILEO TALANT.

X-CALIBUR VLF and high-speed X-GALIBUR VLF ultra-deep external drum thermal platesetters can output 8.2 sheets and 13.3 sheets each with a format of 1140mm*1450mm per hour. Both platesetters use 830-nm solid fiber lasers. , THERMOSTAR P970 thermal imaging.

GALILEO VS and GALILEO VXT are two types of violet laser diode plate systems with a laser wavelength of 400 nm. The VS model can output 16 sheets with a resolution of 2400 DPI (width 1030 mm) per hour, and the VXT model can output 21 sheets per hour with a width of 1030 mm at 2400 DPI. Both platesetters use Agfa's latest LITHOSTAR ULTRA silver halide plate for imaging, making it easy to operate.

The POLARIS 200 is a new product with two laser heads that can image two plates at the same time and can output 235 plates per hour at 1016 DPI. The POLARIS series also has 100, 100E and 100L models. All POLARIS platesetters use high-quality photosensitive resin plates and silver halide digital plates for imaging.

In the CTP process, Agfa's perfect combination of direct plateetters and plates enables users to succeed through the use of a variety of different solutions.
