Making Ctp work for
you
| The benefits
of using Python in your workflow are compelling. Its quality
and speed of output let you produce plates to meet
the ever increasing demands of today's print shop. Python's
modular design and remote diagnostics ensure an
extremely high level of reliability, with minimum
downtime, to put you ahead of your competition,
and to help meet your customers high expectations. |
| Cominning all
these benefits with low cost of ownership, Python
provides affordable metal plate production with
an excellent price/performance ratio. Additional
features such as CIP3 ink-key setting and ROOM
proofing help to ensure an investment for long-term
success. |
| Data integrity is guaranteed
when using PixelProof Server software - the same
RIP is used to send proof output to inkjets, printers
and colour copiers, before outputting to Python. |
| The Python is
designed for the 2-up and 4-up market, it is a
manual load and unload CtP engine. The plate is mounted on a flat
table, correctly positioned in the 3-pin, touch
sensitive, register system. The plate is
clamped automatically and transferred to the high
precision internal drum. Here it is exposed
using Python's advanced laser-optics system. The
plate is retained in the clamp, in perfect register,
while it is imaged at a resolution of 2540 dpi,
6 mm per second. A B2 plate takes two minutes
to Image. |
| The Python system includes a
high-spec workstation running a Torrent Level 3
Postscript RIP, with a full complement of software
applications that enables you to rapidly process
and output your jobs to the Python. |

Key Benefits:
| Quality |
xxx |
Python's
imaging quality is superb. Its precise optical
system is capable of imaging with screening resolutions
of over 200 lpi, giving excellent results on plate. |
| Speed |
|
Python's high
speed spinner os designed for fast imaging. Combined
with easy plate handling, Python can output up
to 25 plates per hour, including plate loading/unloading
time. |
| Reliability
and Accuracy |
|
Python uses a high precision
internal drum and violet laser technology - a combination
proven to give the most reliable and consistently
accurate imaging on metal plate. |
| Affordable
Performance |
|
Python's low cost of ownership
and competitive return on investment lets you benefit
from one of the most affordable CtP systems on
the market. |
| Ease of
Use |
|
Python's design philosophy makes
platemaking easy - it's so simple that virtually
anyone can use the system to produce plates quickly
and reliably. |
| Versatility |
|
Python images
plates varying in size from 745 x 615 mm down to
340 x 400 mm, giving you a wide range of job sizes
and formats. For
maximum flexibility in the press-room, the plates
are punched after imaging using the specific press
punch. |
| Future
Proof |
|
Python is capable of imaging
all silver and photopolymer violet plates currently
on the market, to give you a wide range of plate
options now ans into the future. |
