Achieve Mainstream Print Capabilities
- Impressive quality (1-99% @ 200 lpi)
- Strong print performance including 200,000 run length capability for web presses
- Full range of gauges including 0.40 mm and VLF size capability
Reduce Your Operational Costs and Environmental Impact
- Remove all chemistry, water, equipment, energy, and waste related to the processing or clean out step
- Free prepress from time spent rebatching, cleaning, and maintaining processors or clean out units
Gain Operational Efficiencies
- Achieve better process control by eliminating all processing variables
- Improve your productivity with fast imaging capability
- Streamline plate making by removing processors
Increase the Value of Your Print
- Differentiate the quality of your printwork with FM 20 stochastic capability
- Increase your environmental credentials both in prepress and in the pressroom
