RELIABILITY AND QUALITY
and unrivaled productivity with
a two-laser option.
You might not need the high level of throughput capability of a dual-laser Saber to start with, but
the good news is you can still buy into the Fujifilm Saber violet performance, reliability and quality
now with a single-laser version.
In single-laser mode, Saber platesetters offer a competitive 19, 8-page plates per hour at 2400
dpi, ideal for those converting from film-based production or starting up with CTP.
When you need more throughput, instead of repeating the entire platesetter research, testing,
purchase and installation process, you just add a second laser to nearly double productivity – up
to 32, 8-page plates per hour at 2400 dpi. Start it back up and everything remains the same –
except of course, for the additional throughput.
Saber Vx-9600 Features:
• Extremely productive internal drum
platesetters – 32, 8-up plates an
hour (dual-laser, 2438 dpi)
• Landscaped and portrait plate
loading for maximum printing press
support
• Dual-laser models provide
redundancy if one laser fails
• Violet imaging for ease-of-plate
handling and lower cost of ownership
• Eight multiple resolutions supported
from 1200 to 3657 dpi
• Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic plate loading options
• Co-Res Screening for Violet option
up to 250 lpi

FUJIFILM BRILLIA LP-NV PHOTOPOLYMER PLATES
Because this new generation of violet lasers is more powerful, it is now possible to image on photopolymer plates,
avoiding the heavy processor maintenance schedule, chemistry costs and disposal/environmental issues associated
with silver halide plates.
SABER Vx-9600 FULLY AUTOMATIC SAL
• Single on-line cassette
• Automatic plate loading
• Auto interleaf removal
• Supports up to 5 cassettes

• Automatic cassette identifi cation
• Up to 100 plates per cassette
Saber’s touch-screen control panel is remarkably intuitive and easy to use, yet it allows
access to every function. Current status is clearly indicated and plate availability,
imaging time, jobs queued, and a wealth of other useful information can be accessed
instantly from the touch-screen.
ONE LASER OR TWO?
Saber violet platesetters use
30mw violet lasers at 405 nm
wavelength. In conjunction with
Fujifi lm’s Brillia LP-NV plates,
this provides rapid and precise
imaging, even in the single-laser
version of the platesetters.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
A guiding principle in the design of all Fujifi lm products is simplicity. Our manufacturing
standards are the highest to ensure that Saber violet platesetters keep working reliably
and predictably, plate after plate.
By designing down the number of parts, there is less to go wrong. Sub-assemblies are
positioned for easy access, either by the operator or by Fujifi lm engineers.
The plate path through Saber Vx-9600 is kept clean and dust-free to ensure spotless
plates. Interleaf sheets and punch waste fall into hoppers below the
plate path, which slide out for easy removal when required.
LOADING THE SABER Vx-9600 – FULLY AUTOMATIC
A special trolley is supplied that tilts to allow plate cassettes to be
loaded easily in a bright safelight environment. The cassette can
then be moved to the access door of the Saber plate feeder
where a gentle push is all that is required to insert it into the
cassette stack. A light confi rms correct docking.
MANUAL AND SEMI AUTOMATIC
For manual loading (manual and semi-automatic versions only)
the novel front-loading design allows any size of plate compatible
with the platesetter to be loaded in less than 5 seconds. This minimizes
the unit’s footprint, but doesn’t compromise its productivity –
provided you can feed the
plates fast enough.
When greater productivity is required, a second laser can be
added. The on-site upgrade to a dual-laser confi guration
results in near doubling of plate output, outperforming all
other 8-page platesetters.

For the majority of web presses, imaging portrait plates is
essential. Saber Vx-9600 supports a wide variety of portrait
plate sizes from 6-gauge to 12-gauge. Where imaging very
close to the edge of the plate is required for many web
press setbacks, the Saber Vx-9600 can image within 6mm
of the lead edge of the plate. Saber Vx-9600 also features
a three-point registration system that provides superior
registration.
SABER CONFIGURATIONS
Saber Vx-9600 offers two fully-automatic options, supporting up to 300 plates (MAL) in a
database-driven cassette loader. Different size plates can be loaded in each cassette while
intelligent software keeps track of what’s where and loads the correct cassette for each job,
making it possible to leave the unit running unattended overnight.

FAST PLATE HANDLING
In fully-automatic mode, the Saber Vx-9600 can image up to 300 plates (MAL) before they need
reloading. Plates are drawn into the loading section where interleaf sheets are removed and
discarded into a hopper below. The transport mechanism is self-cleaning to ensure that stray
particles such as plate burrs do not contaminate the imaging surface. The plate handling
section is also kept free of airborne particles by an integrated particle management system.
Plates are drawn onto the
surface of the internal imaging
drum, locked in place, and
held firmly in place under
vacuum. After imaging, plates
are ejected and transported to
the integrated, high-speed
online processor.
