The s from basysprint, namely, expose your trusted and proven conventional printing plates. And that is more than just innovative, because there is no better printing plate you could use.

2 Just right for the best printing plates in the world Are you still using a conventional process? Perfect! Because that means you are ideally equipped for a cost-effective and above all problem-free move into the world of Computer-To-conventional-Plate. The s from basysprint, namely, expose your trusted and proven conventional printing plates. And that is more than just innovative, because there is no better printing plate you could use. After all, you rightly expect the best: a durable, inexpensive and perfectly exposed plate properties which are regularly confirmed by independent institutes. Your individually preferred plate, too, can be exposed with the s from basysprint, thanks to their use of the UV technology. Combine your know-how regarding plate properties, chemistry and process stability with that of basysprint when it comes to exposure. The outstandingly simple handling of the platesetters, along with their top-class processing quality, is praised and appreciated by users all over the world. The s of Series 7 have been designed for the 3b format and can be used equally in the commercial, packaging and book-printing sectors. They expose all plate formats up to a maximum 940 x 1150 mm (37" x 45"). basysprint Series 7 Research, development, manufacture: All under one roof Many years of research experience, comprehensive technology investments and several hundred equipment installations have earned basysprint an unbeatable know-how lead in the digital processing of conventional printing plates.

Conventional printing plate = 100 % Minimum format And any format in-between are possible Maximum format Plate variety for greater independence Halftone proofs on UV materials The cuts the cost of CTP Work under daylight conditions Flexibility of a flatbed system The s operate in the wavelength range nm. You can thus choose from practically the whole range of conventional offset printing plates. A further advantage: Conventional printing plates are in most cases immediately available. Negative-process plates are imaged especially quickly by the s, as only the printing elements of the plate surface need to be exposed. 50 printing plates from 15 manufacturers have already been tested on the s, and this list is growing constantly. We would be pleased to provide information as to whether your preferred plate type has been tested successfully, and if so, which exposure times were achieved. Thanks to its use of UV light, the UV- Setter is able to expose a variety of halftone proofing materials. As the printing plate and the halftone proof are produced from the same file, furthermore, production reliability is enhanced in the downstream digital workflow. CTP is acclaimed for the fact that it eliminates numerous work stages film exposure, make-up and platemaking and thus the associated costs. With a laser-based process, however, the general financial benefits are quickly lost to the higher material costs (printing plate, chemicals and disposal). With CTcP, this problem is overcome: You continue to use your inexpensive conventional plates and your existing processor. Disposal costs will thus also remain low in the future. And as a backup, you can even keep your existing imagesetter and plate frame. After all, they process absolutely identical plates. The general operating costs for the UV- Setter, moreover, are exceptionally favorable. All UV materials (printing plates and proof materials) can be processed under daylight conditions. This eliminates the need for dedicated processing facilities, such as a darkroom or specially darkened working areas with yellow illumination, as required by violet CTP systems, for example. The flatbed system of the Series 7 permits exposure of a wide variety of plate sizes, from small format up a maximum 940 x 1150 mm (37" x 45"). When using smaller formats, e.g. DIN A3, it is naturally also possible to process several plates simultaneously. A further advantage of the flatbed is the facility to replace the mounting strips, so as to be able to use different register systems. Upon request, the flatbed can also be fitted with register pins or 3-pin plate alignment. Unrivalled cost efficiency: basysprint Series 7

Picture segments are projected by the micromirrors during the exposure process. The composite picture is then formed from the picture segments in a series of quick exposure steps. The The heart of every basysprint : the micromirror chip from Texas Instruments. The pixels created are square, and depending on the resolution, 17 to 28 µm in size. The extremely sharp edges ensure high imaging quality. The clear transition from exposed to unexposed surfaces of the conventional offset plate provides high reproduction The individual mirrors can be seen under the tip of a pin. On the printing plate, each pixel has very sharp edges, ensuring high image print quality.

5 Ensuring an optimum workflow Typical existing workflow Data CIP3/PPF RIP: basysprint Navigator The Navigator RIP system, developed by basysprint Daten on the basis of Harlequin Scriptworks, is known as one of the fastest RIPs on the market. It runs on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Thanks to the integrated super-cell technology, the desired gray levels (max. 4096) are achieved even at low resolutions in conjunction with high screen rulings. The RIP supports, among others, Post- Script levels 1-3, JPEG, DCS-2, E, TIFF-6, PDF and optionally TIFF/IT-P. Daten Auto and AutoCIP The two software modules Daten Auto and AutoCIP round off the workflow configuration. Auto enables form proof output without a separate RIP process for the proofer. AutoCIP is used to generate CIP3 data in PPF format. The standardized PPF files can then be sent to the control system of the printing press, where they serve for internal presetting of the ink metering functions. Processor: basysprint Interplater In cooperation with Glunz & Jensen, basysprint supplies processors for all plate formats. One of the key advantages of these plate processors is their precise transport system. The enclosed immersion bath reduces the consumption of processing chemicals and prevents oxidation of the developer fluids. The Interplater is complemented by an automatic cleaning system. Integration or complete solution for your workflow Many factors influence decisions regarding investment in a new CTP system: the existing equipment, the type of work done, infrastructure, staff know-how and, not least, customer demands. Every can be integrated flexibly into existing prepress set-ups. basysprint offers you individual solutions contributing to greater productivity and efficiency.
