04 Kodak SQUAREspot square spot imaging technology

Accuracy, stability and reliability are superior

Kodak square spot imaging technology

Patented technology that has won international awards

Technology orientation:

1. The core of Kodak thermal CTP solution is resolution driver stability

2. Unique 10000dpi SQUAREspot thermal imaging and Sifangjia high fidelity FM screening, up to 10 micron dots

3. Excellent consistency

Unique advantages:

1. The highest resolution in the market today. 2. Compared with the old equipment, imaging can save a lot of power. 3. Automatic temperature compensation - accurate registration can be achieved even if the ambient temperature changes

4. Geometric correction - factory calibration, perfectly matching plates for different Kodak direct plate making machines

5. Dynamic auto focusing - reduce the possibility of hot spots and image defects

6. Built in laser backup system - effectively ensure the laser life and uninterrupted production operation

7. Automatic edge detection system - to ensure the accurate registration of the revision between the same equipment or different equipment

Traditional Gaussian dot (left figure)

For the printing plate output by non Kodak square laser technology, after being processed by the plate printer, the edge of the light spot is weaker than the center, which makes the dot easier to wear during printing, takes longer to preprint, makes the difference between the printed plate and the final print larger, and changes the color more during printing.

Square spot imaging technology (right figure)

The dot generated by the square light dot technology has a more solid edge, which makes it more effective than Gaussian or other dots to resist the wear on the printing press. Stable and durable dot can improve color consistency during printing, reduce pre printing time, and improve the printing plate's printing resistance.

 

The difference is obvious

The dot generated by the square light dot technology has a more solid edge, which makes it more effective than Gaussian or other dots to resist the wear on the printing press. Stable and durable dot can improve color consistency during printing, reduce pre printing time, and improve the printing plate's printing resistance.

Square spot imaging technology brings high stability

The square light spot thermal imaging head will ensure consistent tone on the printing plate, and can accurately image even under common changing conditions. In addition, it can also improve the service life of the liquid medicine. Combined with the intelligent "Dynamic Autofocus" function, the dot produced by the square light spot technology has unmatched accuracy, consistency and reliability, and has excellent performance on various printing plates.

What's the difference?

The 10000 dpi high resolution square spot technology can significantly reduce the Gaussian phenomenon and make halftone dots immune to common processing changes before printing.

 

Perfect combination: square light spot technology and Kodak Tengger non wash printing plate

Improve laser efficiency: to obtain similar printing performance, the required energy is reduced by 27%

Fast color reproduction: it is transferred from a developed printing plate, and dot gain calibration is not required

Excellent color stability: the highest screening performance can be obtained by using the same type of wash free printing plate
