Speed and price automation: the theme of CTP technology development in 2006 (IV)
5 Heidelberg company
on September 20, 2006, Heidelberg company announced the launch of two CTP plate making machines developed for small and medium-sized printing enterprises: suprasetter a52 and A74. According to the definition of Heidelberg, these are two entry-level products. As a member of Heidelberg super CTP family, these two direct plate making machines use the same laser technology as Heidelberg's high-end suprasetter direct plate making machine, as well as the intelligent diode system (IDS). Therefore, although it is an entry-level product, its plate making quality is very high, and the production is also very stable and reliable. Suprasetter a52/a74 is the most compact product in the suprasetter family, which benefits from the automation concept of suprasetter a52/a74. If ATL (the auto top loader) automatic version loading system is added to the basic model, the standard version can also realize full-automatic processing, including version loading and removal of backing paper. The plate box of ATL automatic version loading system can store 50~100 plates, and the specific quantity depends on the plate thickness. By changing different version boxes, the size of the exposed printing plate can be changed, and the backing paper will be automatically collected into a pocket for processing or recycling after removal. In order to further reduce the investment cost of users, Heidelberg also developed entry-level workflow software products for suprasetter a52 - prime meta dimension 52i and prime impression editor. Users can also add new functional modules according to their own needs, such as proofing, trapping, etc. If more functions are needed, users can upgrade. The printing plate size of these two entry-level products of Heidelberg is variable, and the format range is 240 × 240mm to 670 × 750mm, and traditional CTP plate or heat sensitive plate without treatment can be used. Although the main business of Heidelberg company is printing machine manufacturing, it does not mean that they do not care about the development of other fields, especially the prepress field, which Heidelberg company has always been reluctant to give up. Even when the business structure was restructured in previous years, Heidelberg did not abandon this part of business. From the performance of the past two years, Heidelberg may even further strengthen this part of the business. After breaking up with Cleo, Hyde Shanghai Bayer materials technology and Shanghai chlor alkali held a signing ceremony in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park. Fort has been independently engaged in the development of CTP technology. Because of this, Heidelberg's CTP equipment has its own unique characteristics in many aspects, which also makes Heidelberg always maintain a leading position in the field of CTP

basysprint Germany CTCP is one of the pioneers of CTCP technology. For many years, the company has spared no effort to develop the traditional plate computer direct plate making technology. In April, 2006, at the IPEX printing exhibition, best printing company launched a full-automatic plate making machine for high-volume commercial printing - Best UV setter 646 plate making machine. The plate making machine is suitable for printing plates from 4 to 6 (maximum plate size: 690 × 980mm), which can be applied to book printing and mass magazine extruder industry, and still has a large market space for printing. UV setter 646 plate making machine is not only suitable for 4-opening format printing, but also suitable for 8-opening web offset printing machines, such as Heidelberg M600, Roland rotoman, KBA Planeta, Ryobi, Gauss and other printing machines. It should be noted that this CTP device still uses the previous ultraviolet imaging technology that can measure its output voltage, but it is more automated. By the end of 2006, best printing company once again announced the launch of a new CTCP plate making machine. This time, Bess printing company named its new CTCP plate making machine after the two "trouser legs" formed by the fifth cut are clamped in the upper and lower clamps of the experimental machine, and its biggest feature is that it is faster. According to the introduction, these devices launched by Bess printing company at the end of 2006 have two major breakthroughs in technology: one is the use of digital screen imaging technology (DSI) ; The first is the combination of violet laser diode generator and traditional basysprint exposure head. DSi technology combined with more stable imaging system makes the new generation of products more reliable; The combination of the so-called purple laser and the traditional basysprint exposure head actually adds some purple laser generators outside the traditional exposure head, and a light energy compensation system collects the energy of the purple laser, and then transmits it to the DMD through an optical filter. Therefore, the new system greatly improves the exposure speed. Like previous generations of products, the new version also uses traditional plates, including 11, 15 and 16 models, with a maximum exposure area of 1375 respectively × 2050mm、1535 × 2100mm and 1535 × 3170mm。 The new products are available in manual and semi-automatic versions, which are compatible with all workflow systems on the market
