Xanté SpeedSetter® Series
Imagesetters and Platesetters
Xanté SpeedSetter® Series Imagesetters and Platesetters feature patented Virtual Drum® Engines designed to image extremely high resolution, accurate films and polyester plates. Virtual Drum Technology delivers all the benefits of traditional hard drum Imagesetters, at a fraction of the cost. SpeedSetters' unique internal drum design allows the laser to expose the media at a very close range. The result is a very sharp, very small dot size (10 microns at 2400 to 3600 dpi ), for a crisp consistent image across the entire width of the media. You enjoy better resolutions (to 4000dpi), line screens (to 225 film / 175 plate), and better registration (± .0005" Typical; ± .001" Maximum).
Accuracy:
+ .0005" Typical; + .001" Maximum
