Dimension Excel
Series
Presstek's Dimension Excel is a versatile, high performance, CTP
system that streamlines workflow - imaging your digital files directly
to high resolution thermal plates for superior printing performance.
It's highly affordable, delivers high-quality imaging, is easy to
use, and is based on industry proven technology.
Dimension Excel employs daylight-safe, chemistry-free thermal imaging
technology. Gone is the need for special lighting environments and
plate processor maintenance. All chemical developer costs are completely
eliminated including storage and disposal. There is no need to clean,
monitor or maintain the processor. And there are no more remakes
due to exposure or vacuum frame deficiencies or errors. All of this
results in a significant reduction in platemaking cost.
Dimension Excel delivers all the quality needed to satisfy the
toughest market requirements. For every type of offset printing,
from annual reports and art posters to packaging and labels, the
Dimension Excel produces plates quickly, cost-effectively, with
the quality you and your customers demand.
The combination of Dimension Excel platesetters and Presstek's
chemistry- and process-free plates provides an optimized system
for higher productivity, cleaner operation and lower cost. It's
a smart CTP investment strategy...and a smarter way to print.
ProFire Excel
Dimension Excel systems are enabled by Presste's thermal laser
imaging technology, ProFire Excel. ProFire Excel is Presstek's next
generation imaging technology; it takes full advantage of over a
decade of research and development efforts and the experience of
thousands of installations worldwide.
ProFire Excel builds on Presstek's award-winning ProFire technology
which is already utilized in Presstek Dimension CTP systems and
DI-enabled presses. ProFire Excel brings together all of the imaging
components - high power infrared laser diodes, laser driver and
data electronics, and motion control into one compact imaging system.
ProFire Excel offers rock-solid reliability, superb quality, fast
and accurate imaging, durability and long lasting laser diodes.
Experience the Benefits of Presstek CTP
Daylight-safe operation
Presstek thermal plates have no sensitivity
to visible light. Handling and imaging plates in a daylight environment
improves productivity and eliminates the costs and special provisions
associated with safe-light and darkroom conditions.
Chemistry-free
platemaking
Presstek CTP is chemistry-free. Besides
eliminating processing chemistry, Presstek CTP plates require no
gumming, baking, or special cleaning fluids.
Consistency
and repeatability
Presstek CTP produces the highest
quality output, free of the inconsistencies in image quality associated
with emulsion variances, processor condition, chemical aging, exposure
problems, and environmental changes.
Reliability
From imaging heads to plates, the
reliability and performance of Presstek thermal imaging products
are proven in thousands of CTP installations and direct-to-press
imaging applications with the world's leading press manufacturers.
Presstek has installed more thermal imaging heads worldwide than
any other thermal imaging manufacturer in the graphic arts industry.
Low impact
installation
Freedom from chemical processing and
baking, the compact size of Dimension Excel platesetters, elimination
of support equipment, and operation in normal room conditions allow
Presstek CTP systems to fit any plant layout.
Easy operation
Presstek CTP systems are designed
for maximum ease of use and require far fewer steps to produce plates,
streamlining your entire platemaking operation.
Lower
cost ownership
Presstek CTP lowers costs in the short
run, and in the long run. The savings in time, materials and labor
mean lower overhead in your platemaking operations. With the fewest
number of steps from RIP to press, a Presstek CTP system can produce
more plates at a lower cost. On press, Presstek plates provide fast
roll-up and run lengths to 100,000 - without baking. The daylight-safe,
chemistry-free imaging of Presstek plates and compact size of Dimension
platesetters make for an easy transition to Presstek CTP in any
shop layout.
Applause
Applause is the world's first truly process-free printing plate.
With Applause, you simply image and print. Applause is engineered
to be compatible with wet offset press systems, provide run lengths
up to 100,000 and deliver high-resolution printing. After imaging
on your thermal CTP system, you simply hang the plate on press--there
is no intermediate cleaning, baking or gumming step required.
Anthem
Anthem thermal plates provide chemistry-free CTP and exceptional
print performance. Anthem is designed to be a "drop-in product"
with excellent ink / water latitude, compatibility with a wide range
of press chemistry, and run lengths up to 100,000. After imaging,
only a simple cleaning with water is required; there is no baking
and no chemical processing
PEARLdry
For waterless printers using CTP, PEARLdry plates offer the same
daylight-safe, chemistry-free imaging as Anthem. Waterless presses
print cleaner, sharper images with less dot gain and greater consistency.
Enhance your waterless printing performance with fast, easy-to-produce
PEARLdry plates that provide high-resolution, stability, and excellent
inking characteristics.
