 Highest productivity in its class combined with enhancements on design, specification and environmental friendliness. 
The flagship model in this series; PlateRite 8800N-ZX, features a
1,024-channel imaging head with the latest GLV™ technology.
This new
imaging head makes it possible for the PlateRite 8800N-ZX to output a
remarkable 51 B1-size plates per hour*, the highest productivity in its
class. It also provides the high-quality halftone dot reproduction users
have come to expect in thermal plate output, for the perfect marriage
of quality and productivity.
*1,030 x 800 mm(40.5 x 31.4") plates at 2,400dpi.
The PlateRite 8800N-Z/S/E and PlateRite 8600N-Z offers high-resolution
4,000 dpi support as an option. This option is perfect for everything
from high-resolution art printing to the accurate reproduction of small
text sizes like those required for bond and other certificate
printing.
This option also enables the PlateRite 8800N-Z/S/E and the PlateRite
8600N-Z to output high-quality 4,000 dpi 3D lenticular printing plates.
*4,000 dpi support comes standard with the PlateRite 8000N-Z.
Advanced features that support high quality and high productivity
High resolution (option)
The PlateRite 8800N-Z/S/E and PlateRite 8600N-Z offers
high-resolution 4,000 dpi support as an option. This option is perfect
for everything from high-resolution art printing to the accurate
reproduction of small text sizes like those required for bond and other
certificate printing.
This option also enables the PlateRite 8800N-Z/S/E and the PlateRite
8600N-Z to output high-quality 4,000 dpi 3D lenticular printing plates.
*4,000 dpi support comes standard with the PlateRite 8000N-Z.
Remote monitoring of production status
Remote monitoring allows users to keep an eye on CtP operating
conditions and output history from a remote location, using a web
browser or e-mail. E-mails can also be sent automatically to the
service center and entered into a database for use in maintenance,
repairs, and periodic inspections, ensuring that the CtP recorder is in
optimal operating condition at all times.
Stable drum rotation
The PlateRite 8000N series features a unique auto-balancing feature.
The operator simply selects the appropriate pre-registered plate size
and type during setup, and the recorder automatically makes the
necessary adjustments to ensure perfect drum balance.
This results in stable, high-speed drum rotation for all the plate sizes and thicknesses handled by the recorder.
Maximised available image area
The minimum clamp size that can be used with the PlateRite 8000 N
series is 8 mm, for both the leading and trailing edge clamps (with a
leading edge clamp size of just 6 mm in the 8800N series).
The available imaging area is extremely large, so plates can be used
for a wide range of printing press types. This helps reduce the amount
of effort involved in plate handling and increases printing press
operating ratios, thereby contributing significantly to increased
productivity.
* When the notchless PlateRite 8800N (option) is selected, the clamp size is even smaller.
Screen has developed a unique plate clamping system that allows the
drum to rotate at extremely high speeds, for significantly higher
productivity. A function that makes it possible to change the position
of the clamps depending on the plate size being used ensures support
for a wide range of plate sizes.
Superior registration accuracy
The PlateRite 8000N series features an automatic inline punching
system that helps enable perfect registration on press. Plates are
punched by this automatic inline punching system immediately before
being loaded onto the drum. The registration punch holes ensure
consistent plate placement on the drum, when used in conjunction with
standard registration pins. This helps eliminate imaging variations
caused by improper plate placement, and ensures superior registration
accuracy.
When optional printing press punch blocks*1 are used, the imaged plates can be loaded directly onto the press after output.
The use of printing press punch blocks during plate output eliminates
the need for manual punching later on in the workflow, ensures
excellent registration accuracy, and creates the foundation for perfect
results on press. It also dramatically shortens press make-ready time
and improves press operating ratios, for even better overall
productivity.
*1 Up to eight individual punch blocks can be selected and mounted,
depending on the plate sizes and printing press types being used.
Upgrade to create the optimal CtP environment
The PlateRite 8800N/8600N/8300N units all have certain parts that
can be replaced to upgrade them to higher model types (upgrade is a
paid option). These flexible recorders can be upgraded as productivity
needs change to create an optimal production environment.
Check operation status at a glance
The PlateRite 8000N series models come standard with a signal light
at the top of the unit that makes it easy to check CtP operation status
and see if there have been any errors. An optional signal tower that
improves visibility regardless of the operator’s position is also
available.
