1Optional auto-loader and stacker, enable on-line operation.

2 Based on 14 years of experience in processing laser imagesetter, now, surface

2Speed and quality are safely guaranteed by on-line operation.

flatness of CTP drum is within 1S (10 micron), which exceeds technological standard
of international counterparts.

3Compatible with various approved PS plates.

Low cost of ownership

3 Internationally advanced laser light source, plus self-developed world-class laser
head technology, builds up reliable optical system, and thus ensures accurate
transmission of laser to plates.

1State-of-the-art laser diode, value-added service policy.

2Reliable service support, low spare parts and maintenance cost.

3Applicable with sensitive or ordinary traditional PS plate, consumables cost reduced remarkably.
4On-line operation helps to save labor and space.

4 Accurate imaging comes from sophisticated parts and exquisite technique. CRON
establishes a processing base of key parts and accessories, and ensures product
quality and stability at the source.

5 Patented technology of leakproof device for drum absorption printing ensures that
the plate is firmly absorbed to the surface of drum during high-speed operation of the
drum, so the operation is very safe, and imaging quality is enhanced.

6 Patented technology of automatic focusing and temperature compensation easily

realize stepless focusing, and enable one machine to output numerous precisions.
Moreover, it compensates the fluctuations of output precision caused by changes of
ambient temperature, and further ensures perfect imaging quality.

7 Patented technology of side guide solves the most difficult problem of positioning in
CTP. Its unique plate clamp is the one and only in the world, reliable and simple, and
thus ensures that repeated positioning accuracy is within 0.01 mm, which reaches
international leading level.

8 Truly people-oriented and open interface for 1 BIT TIFF standard workflow software
endows customers with the right to choose.
