Finally the flexo world chose the Computer-to-Plate technology!

Based on the reliable Fiber laser (Faser) patented new solution with universal vacuum/magnet drum offers the highest possible yet stable printing quality.

LaserGraver advantages for the users:

PRODUCTIVITY

• short start up time
• up to 4 laser beams
• high reliable fiberlaser
• simplicity of the technological cycle
• easy management of the pre-press and press processes
• no need to use vacuum and master-films while UV-exposure
• enhanced opportunities of gradient printing because of hybrid rasterization technology ComboScreen
• possibility to repeat the plate of a set without loosing the register
• incredibly long operation without servicing

  FLEXIBILITY

• hybrid magnet / vacuum drum
• free choice of print plate formats
• photopolymer or photopolymer on metal base for letterpress
• Sleeves

  PRECISION

• up to 3387 dpi (optionally up to 5080 dpi)
• up to 180 lpi screening
• no quality problems due to bubbles and dust
• low dot gain thanks to optimal printing elements profile
• wide halftone range and stable reproduction of printing dots from 1% to 98%
• stable reproduction of printing elements in highlight areas
• high fidelity of color reproduction due to low dot gain in printing

  

LaserGraver is equipped with a powerful versatile FlexWorks raster processor. FlexWorks runs under Windows NT/2000/XP and is intended to process PostScript files from various design software (like FreeHand, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, CorelDRAW, ArtPro, etc.) as well as high-resolution TIFF-digital films (1-bit raster images) from other raster processors like NEXUS, Harlequin, Brisque, FlexRIP and others. It doesn't matter which platform was used to prepare a source image, either Macintosh or PC. The mechanism of PostScript rasterization has a lot of special functions intended just for flexo and Letterpress: special dot shape, compensation of distortion, rasterization of seamless images, calibration of photopolymer processing procedure, library of characterization curves for printing units, Hybrid rasterization ComboScreen.

According to last tends for pre-press procedure FlexWorks has special functions to work with rasterized images. It performs imposition, screen proofing and checking of the design (trapping, raster dot size, width of line artwork elements) of digital films. FlexWorks gives the user a full control over all key parameters of flexo pre-press to reach maximum printing quality. Due to the scalable Client/Server architecture and support of all widely used image formats the FlexWorks could meet the requirements of any user, from a small design-bureau to a large packaging plant.
