BasysPrint – founded 1995, and today a Punch Graphix company – set itself
the target of developing a technology which would unite the principles of CtP
with the benefits of the proven, conventional UV plate technology. The product
was the basysPrint UV-Setter. Implementing the unique DSI (Digital Screen
Imaging) concept, basysPrint’s UV lamps or violet laser diodes are able to
process more than 50 brands of UV-sensitive printing plates from 15 different
manufacturers. The UV-Setter has been enjoying tremendous success worldwide for
over 10 years, handling the most varied applications in the format classes 2 -
9 (up to 1535 x 3170 mm).
Digital Screen Imaging (DSI) process
To directly expose data, basysPrint - a Punch Graphix brand - has developed
the Digital Screen Imaging (DSI) process, based on Digital Light Processing™
(DLP™) from Texas Instruments Inc.
In this process, UV light hits a DMD™ (Digital
Micromirror Device™), a component with approx. 800,000 of micromirrors. Each of
the micromirrors can be digitally controlled - the mirror either projects the
light that it receives through an optical lens system or it diverts the light
such that the lens does not catch it. This means that each mirror is like a
pixel; a screen image is created on the printing plate. Due to the limited
number of micromirrors or pixels, only some of the sections of the image can be
projected in one exposure step. These picture segments are joined to form a
composite picture by a rapid succession of exposure steps. The picture segments
are approx. 0.8 cm to 6.3 cm in size, depending on the resolution selected. The
highly precise positioning system of the exposure head ensures precision of 2
µm for seamlessly joining the picture segments.
The UV-Setter Series can be ordered in the
following automation levels in DSI² and DSI³:
- Fully automatic system with multi-cassette:
The
MCA version (Multi-Cassette Automation) accepts up to five different plate
formats and automatically supplies the required format for exposure.
-
Up to 500 plates in max. 5 cassettes
-
Manual operation possible, if necessary
-
Fully automatic paper removal
-
Optional automatic punching
-
Plates can also be loaded up during exposure
