Exact halftones. Accurate registration. Sharp images. Crisp film.
Clean plates. This chemical-free, process-free, total prepress system
images paper proofs, film and polyester plates. Choose freedom from your
tired process and go digital.
Your CTP Solution: With our PlateMaker5
total prepress system, processing is eliminated. Go from proofs to
approval and directly to plate or film using only one device. Your plate
production is completely process-free and chemical-free. Our Z-7
Technology assures clean plates, crisp film, sharp images and exact
halftones — in a word, detail. That’s pure CTP technology.
Your Proven Technology: Our PlateMaker5
system, accompanied by the Myriad 2 plate, gives you the feel of metal
on your press. Myriad 2 plates are among the best conventional polyester
plates on the market with run lengths of 20,000 impressions or more.
The grained surface of the Myriad2 plate allows it to hold very small
halftone dots. The ability to generate 120 plates per hour saves you
time and money. Myriad2 positive or negative film can be used to burn
larger metal plates for your wide-format presses.
Your Bottom Line: With our PlateMaker5
total prepress system, most print shops can realize a 100% return on
their investment in less than a year. Turn “if only we could” into “now
we can.” You can custom-fit the PlateMaker5 to fit your workflow and enable your shop to reach peak performance. That’s the bottom line.
CTP means:
Z-7 Technology: Z-7 assures clean plates, crisp
film, sharp images, accurate registration and exact halftones — in a
word, detail. Incorporating our unique Z-Dot™ screening, the PlateMaker5 delivers the cleanest screens possible from an electro photographic process.
Clean Plate Technology (CPT): This technology has
been built from the ground up to create a perfect plate with no cleaning
or special etch required, giving you the unprecedented ability to print
numerous polyester plates that go straight to the press.
Adobe® Postscript® 3™: True Adobe PostScript 3
offers reliability, increased performance, and the assurance of
compatibility to work from virtually any software application and
hardware environment.
Advanced Halftone Calibration: The PlateMaker5leaves
little to chance when it comes to matching plate output to the
characteristics of your press. Both an automated Quick Calibration and
an Advanced Calibration feature allow you to fine tune the PlateMaker5 to your specific environment.
Negative Enhanced Imaging Technology (NEIT): This
patented technology allows you to produce superior quality negatives
ensuring clear, crisp hairline images and text without the risk of
“plugging,” which occurs when printing negative images on typical laser
printers.
XANTE Accurate Calibration Technology (X-ACT™): Our
patented Accurate Calibration Technology gives you precise control over
horizontal and vertical dimensions on page images ensuring unmatched
output accuracy.
340MM Option: Specifically designed for the
Heidelberg® Printmaster® Qm 46, this option offers the ability to output
a wide plate. Pinbar Alignment allows you to print adjustabe vertical
lines at the top of the plate, making it easier to make accurate punches
on each plate when printing two- and three-color jobs.
Non-electrostatic Plates: Supports chemical-free
plate making using Myriad 2 polyester plates, making computer-to-plate
printing more cost effective and less time consuming.
Myriad Film: Polyester-based Myriad film has been developed specifically to create quality film directly from your computer.
Gripper Offset: The Gripper Offset feature allows
you to adjust the placement of an image to ensure that it is aligned
correctly on the press, and allows for easier changes between setups for
multiple presses.
Negative Print: Provides the ability to print a negative image from any application regardless of job make-up.
User-Friendly Web Interface: Enter the IP address of
the printer in the address bar of your Web browser to check the printer
status, rename it, align plates and more.
Multi-Plate Loader: You have more things to do than
single-feed plate loading. The auto plate loader allows you to stack up
to 50 Myriad2 polyester plates, walk away and return to crisp, clear
output.
