A truly
economical, entry-level Computer-to-Plate system, the DPX Genesis delivers
cut-to-size, processed and dried paper or polyester plates for black-and-white
or color applications quickly and easily. The DPX Genesis' in-line processor
system brings you the efficiency and ease of CTP - without the extra cost. Makes computer-to-plate
as easy as laser printing, while maintaining offset quality. DPX GENESIS supplies
press/ready plates which are: Cut to size, perfect edge register, processed
and dried - all in one unit. All plates will be delivered stacked in the exit
tray. The low-cost CTP
Solution
To stay competitive, small printers not only need a
fast way to move to CTP, they need an economical way to do it. The DPX
GENESIS is the affordable way for small format operation to upgrade their
production processes to a digital workflow - and create press-ready plates
quickly and economically. Platesetter and imagesetter in one
The DPX GENESIS is a platesetter and imagesetter in one, designed to process both film and
plate materials. That means that no matter what the job or run length, the
all-purpose DPX GENESIS can handle it. To run film the film
option contains a roll holder an take-up cassette so
that film can be processed in an off-line processor. Plate material is
processed in the in-line processor - and changing from film to plate takes
less than five minutes. Advanced capstan
technology
The DPX GENESIS uses state-of-the-art Capstan technology, which exposes
material as it passes in front of a laser. The advantage of Capstan is that
it guarantees a high level of productivity up to 38 plates per hour can be
produced. Easy Integration
Creating plates with the DPX GENESIS is as easy as setting up an ordinary
document for a laser printer. Like and ordinary printer, the DPX GENESIS
connects to any MAC or PC workstation. Once connected, the user-friendly
interface makes it easy to set up and position the desired print job on the
plate. The DPX GENESIS automatically does the rest. No waste between
plates
Plate material for the DPX GENESIS is delivered in 61-meter rolls (200 feet).
One roll is long enough to generate 150 plates. And each new plate begins
where the previous one ends so there is no waste, as is usually the case when
using an imagesetter to produce plates. Easy to Calibrate
With the DPX GENESIS, it's easy to calibrate for perfect images - also in
terms of highlights and shadows. By outputting a screen range from 0 -100%
and keying in the actual measured values, operators can produce plates that
are close to perfect. Dot gain can also be
corrected in the same way: Just print the screen range and key in the
measured values. State-of-the-art processor
The 2-bath processor operates with only two very small containers, which
reduces the amount of chemistry used. Two small replenishment bottles are
mounted on the back of each machine - with enough activator and stabilizer to
feed one roll of plate material. This simplifies operation because all the
operator has to do is change the replenishment bottles each time a new roll
of plate material is inserted. The processor's overflow
pipe is designed to control the chemistry level in the containers. Excess
chemicals will automatically run into the waste container and when the
container is full, a warning signal tells the operator to empty the
container. All the operator has to do is click the tube onto the container
and push the button. A pump will automatically empty the container, so there
is not contact with chemicals. Proofing
When implementing a digital CTP workflow, proofing can be one of the many
issues facing the printer. A variety of digital proofing devices raging from
laser printers to inkjet and dye sublimation printers are available on the
market today and are generally accepted by most customers. Mitsubishi Imaging
is pleased to be able to either supply or recommend to our customers a
proofing software plug-in solution for any of our digital platesetters.
Mitsubishi Imaging also offers a full line of Ink Jet Papers
to meet your proofing needs, including our Ink Jet
Proofing Paper which is shade matched to commercial printing stock for
the most accurate proofs available. |
