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 costeffective 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.

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.
