New Press Means Small Printers Can Print Effects
According to Xante, small and medium-sized printing firms can now enter the special effects print market with the Ilumina 3D digital colour press.
Powered by Xante's patented and patent-pending technology, the system is claimed to improve halftones and provide tighter registration to the two-up portrait press marketplace.
Robert C Ross, Junior, Xante's president and chief exeuctrive officer, said: "Twelve years ago we pioneered electrophotographic CTP technology and with the Platemaker5 we've refined it.
With our core group of Z-7 technologies and the newest CTP innovation, Z-Dot technology, the Platemaker5 is positioned in a class by itself." Z-7 technology is claimed to provide the tools for Xante CTP products to ensure clean plates, crisp film, sharp images, high line screens, accurate registration and exact halftones.
The innovation of Z-Dot technology allows for more control over dot gain, whilst also enabling photographs and screens to be imaged smoothly with 256 shades of gray, at 150 lines per inch (lpi).
Z-Dot also enables halftone screens to be controlled and for tints and graduations to have smoother, more consistent output than ever before, said Xante.
