Agfa High Definition Prepress HD-CTP Innovative Technology

Agfa launched High-Definition Computer-to-Plate (HD-CTP), a high-definition technology that provides high-quality dot reproduction and satisfactory printability for today's commercial printing, packaging, and label printing. Designed for high quality printing.

Agfa's new generation of high-speed thermal platesetter Xcalibur 45 combines innovative components and revolutionary technology to meet the next generation of HD-CTP quality requirements. From brand new exterior drum designs, innovative optical systems to unique dot structures, Agfa optimizes all major components of the Xcalibur 45 for optimal quality, reliability and convenience.

A computer-to-plate machine that fully meets the needs of modernization, automation, and digital printing

The Xcalibur 45 uses an external drum thermal laser design with two models, the Xcalibur 45S and Xcalibur 45E. At 2400 dpi, the Xcalibur 45S can output 20 splits per hour, while the Xcalibur 45E can output 15 pairs per hour. Open Edition; not only easy to operate, easy to use, small size, and can provide excellent quality of outlets. Select the appropriate degree of automation, manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic configuration, and can be upgraded as needed. More importantly, the Thermostar 970 Digital Thermal Printer with the Xcalibur 45 has very good quality and benefits. Even the most discriminating customer will give a very high rating.

HD-CTP Innovation and Technology

In order to meet the quality and requirements of HD-CTP, the Xcalibur 45 images the plate in a new, precise way, using a variety of breakthrough technologies.

● Unique, patented laser and optical imaging system

The Xcalibur 45 uses a variable-grating optical imaging system (GLV). The core technology of GLV is the industry-leading micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) developed by Agfa and Silicon Light Machines. In the high-definition television (HD-TV) market. Agfa is the first company to apply GLV technology to other products.

● Intelligent imaging method

The Xcalibur 45 is imaged in a multi-beam helical manner. Through the control of the GLV, it is possible to finely control the shape of points. In particular, continuous line segments can be generated according to the characteristics of the image. This means that the adjacent dots will never overlap. The general CTP can only form a line in the form of a point, and sometimes even need to use excessive exposure to make up for the gap between the dots. In short, the Xcalibur 45 produces very precise, uniform dot quality, and printability and latitude are also very satisfying.

● IntelliSpot Smart Dots Improve Print Quality

Agfa's latest IntelliSpotTM smart dot technology enables the Xcalibur 45 to generate continuous segments to improve the quality of text and line drawing, while taking into account the level of continuous adjustment of the image, and can improve the latitude of print jobs to meet today's small and varied Printing requirements for quick plate change.

● Helix imaging allows images to be seamless

The patented exposure method of the Xcalibur 45 is based on a continuous and uninterrupted spiral image, so that high-definition images can be obtained.

● More beam, streamlined mechanical structure

Because multiple beams are simultaneously imaged on the plate, the Xcalibur 45 provides fast imaging at relatively low speeds (190 revolutions per minute), which not only increases the safety of the system, but also simplifies the mechanical structure and extends the mechanical life.

The Xcalibur 45's precise three-position printing plate positioning, excellent upper and lower plate design, high-efficiency plate presets, different degrees of automation options, safe and easy operation, integrated plate processing system, and best plate performance Can reduce labor costs and improve overall efficiency.
