The Python has been developed in response to feed-back from the market. In
the past year customer needs have changed. Line-screens are up and run
lengths have shrunk, which means more plate changes. As a result of the
need for higher speed and quality which the Python delivers.
The Python brochure is now available in French, Spanish, Dutch and German.

Python, designed for the 2-up and 4-up market is a manual load and unload
CtP device. The plate is mounted on a flat table, correctly positioned in
the 3-pin touch sensitive register system. The plate is clamped
automatically and transferred to the high precision, internal drum. Here
it is exposed using Python's advanced optical laser system. The plate is
retained in the clamp in perfect register while it is imaged at a
resolution of 2540 dpi, at 6 mm per second. A B2 plate takes two minutes
to image.
The Python system includes a high-spec workstation running a Torrent Level
3 RIP, with a full complement of software applications that enables you to
rapidly process and output your jobs to the Python.
The benefits of using Python in your workflow are compelling. Its quality
and speed of output let you produce plates to meet the ever increasing
demands of today's print shop. Python's modular design and remote
diagnostics ensure an extremely high level of reliability, with minimum
downtime, to put you ahead of your competition, and to help meet your
customers' high expectations
Features and Benefits
Quality Python's imaging quality is superb. Its precise
optical system is capable of imaging with a screening resolution
over 200 lpi giving excellent results on plate.
Speed Python's high speed spinner is designed for fast
imaging. Combined with easy plate handling Python can output up to
25 plates per hour, including plate loading/unloading time.
Reliability and Accuracy Python uses a high precision
internal drum and violet laser technology - a combination proven to
give the most reliable and consistently accurate imaging on metal
plate.
Affordable Performance Python's low cost of ownership and
competitive return on investment lets you benefit from one of the
most affordable CtP systems on the market.
Ease of Use Python's design philosophy makes platemaking
easy -it's so simple that virtually anyone can use the system to
produce plates quickly and reliably.
Versatility Python images plates varying in size from 745
x 615 mm down to 335 x 400 mm, giving you a wide range of job sizes
and formats. For maximum flexibility in the press-room, the plates
are punched after imaging, using the specific press punch.
Flexibility Python is capable of imaging all silver and
photopolymer violet plates currently on the market, to give you a
wide range of plate options now and into the future.
