The Luxel V-Series is an extremely
productive, high quality solution…
The Fujifilm Luxel V-Series range of Violet platesetters is transforming today’s
pre-press industry and has been built on Fujifilm’s wealth of experience with
internal drum imaging. The Luxel F-9000 – the world’s fastest B1 imagesetter
and winner of the Queens Award for Enterprise, Innovation 2002 – was the
first Fujifilm product to use an aluminium internal drum, which isolates it from
error-inducing vibrations.
The Luxel V-Series range of B1 8 page platesetters use a similar drum system
with a polished surface to which the plates are held under vacuum. The
imaging laser beams reach the plate via a patented optical system developed
by Fujifilm. A spinning mirror mounted on a precision engineered carriage
places the image dots with an accuracy measured in micrometres. Because the
mirror spins at 40,000 rpm for all but the lowest resolutions, Fujifilm engineers
have contoured its surface to compensate for the minute distortion that occurs
at such high speeds. A benefit of this contouring is a reduction in its
susceptibility to contamination from dust and particles.
The Luxel V-Series is an extremely productive, high quality solution that
compliments your existing technology. Designed and optimised for Fujifilm
Brillia LP-NV photopolymer plates, Luxel V-Series is more efficient and cost-
effective than silver halide devices and its waste is easier to recycle or dispose
of. It’s a rare case of environmental consideration with no cost penalty.
Offering the highest standards in productivity and image quality, the Luxel
V-Series is designed and manufactured by Fujifilm using leading edge design
and engineering techniques offering the latest in imaging and plate handling
technology. This means that you can have confidence that your purchase is a
long-term investment and will remain competitive in years to come.
The Luxel V-9600 CTP and Vx-9600 CTP take full advantage of the latest Violet
diode technology. Combined with Fujifilm’s multi-laser technology this means
that the Luxel V-Series delivers the highest productivity in its class but also
offers extremely low cost of ownership and service when compared to thermal
CTP devices.

Fujifilm’s laser pen boasts a life
of over 5000 imaging hours –
that’s five years of typical use –
giving large cost savings
compared with multiple laser
arrays used in thermal devices
The Violet plate
A Luxel Violet platesetter is just part of the CTP equation. Fujifilm has a wealth of expertise
in the field of reprographics that encompasses all the consumables and workflow systems
needed to provide a complete turnkey solution.
Choosing the right RIP and Workflow to manage incoming files is as important as the
machine itself, as is the choice of plates and chemistry. To complement its Violet
platesetters, Fujifilm’s Brillia LP-NV photopolymer plates provide consistent press
performance on run lengths of up to 200,000 impressions or 1 million when baked.
The plate has a developer with improved resistance to pressroom chemistry, increasing
developer life and reducing sludge. The plate is rated for 2 – 98 per cent at up to 200lpi.
Fujifilm provides a totally integrated system to ensure that your new CTP system works the
way you want it to from day one.

Violet – The future of CTP
Violet technology has gone from strength to strength with
more platesetters now using the low cost, low power diodes
than ever before. Newspaper and B2 markets in particular
are dominated with Violet laser devices due to their leading
productivity, low cost of ownership and high quality.
So where is the future now for Violet diodes, and how will
they impact the CTP market?
Violet diode lasers are being constantly driven by the
demand of the consumer DVD market. Ever growing DVD
writer sales are pushing for yet higher powered lasers to
enable more data to be burnt to media, whilst still
maintaining low costs. Dramatic announcements in the
development path for Violet diodes are now clear and as the
5mw diodes moved to 30mw, we are now seeing 60mw and
100mw with 200mw expected in the next few years.
Future benefits are clear, productivity, quality and cost
improvements coupled with likely increases in laser life.
Productivity improvements are possible due to the sensitivity
of Violet plates, only small increases in power are required
for greater imaging speed. As power increases so does the
potential to create sharper dots. Costs of lasers have begun
to reduce in comparative terms, and laser life has increased.
As the laser powers increase, the opportunity for process-less
and other new technologies become a more realistic option
for the future.
Violet technology has come a long way in the last 5 years
and this is expected to continue with even more pace over
the next few years.
