Advanced New Imaging System with a 16μm Laser Spot Size

Presstek's newly developed ProFire® Excel Imaging System is equipped with two imaging heads with built-in lasers. The two imaging heads can simultaneously form an image onto the plates for four colors with precise registration on each plate cylinder. The laser spot size* of 16μm provides a resolution of 2,540 dpi, ensuring high-precision printing reproducibility. This imaging system can handle AM screening up to 300 lines per inch (120 l/cm) and FM (stochastic) screening (option), providing the flexibility to meet the growing demand for a diverse range of short-run color printing.
*Spot size as measured on a ProFire® Digital Media plate after imaging.



Waterless Plate (ProFire® Digital Media)

The 3404X-DI and 3404E-DI both use ProFire® Digital Media, a roll-type waterless plate. High-powered lasers form the print image on the plate. Each plate lasts for approximately 20,000 impressions, and will accommodate both short runs as well as longer, large-lot production*.
