Key Operational Benefits:
1. Advanced Prepress Solution
Precision Imaging Technology:
- Achieves true 2400dpi resolution with remarkable ±5μm
repeatability for razor-sharp text and smooth tonal gradients
- Incorporates discrete laser diode technology that maintains
exceptional imaging stability with minimal power fluctuation
(≤0.5%)
- Features an external drum design that guarantees perfect plate
registration for color-critical applications
2. Technical Specifications
System Configuration Options:
The T-400 Series offers three tailored configurations to meet
different production needs. The flagship T-400F model features a
48-channel laser diode system delivering 28 plates per hour, ideal
for high-volume operations. The T-400S standard model provides
32-channel imaging at 22 plates/hour for mid-size printers, while
the entry-level T-400E offers 24-channel capability at 16
plates/hour, perfect for starter plants.
Core Technical Parameters:
The system supports all major 830nm thermal plates from leading
manufacturers including Kodak, Fujifilm, Agfa and Lucky. With
adjustable resolution from 1200-2400dpi, it reproduces minimum 1%
dots at 200lpi and handles FM screening with ease. The automatic
focus adjustment accommodates plate thickness from 0.15-0.30mm,
while robust environmental tolerance ensures reliable operation
between 15-30°C at 40-70% relative humidity.
3. Performance and Reliability
Validated through extensive testing, the system demonstrates less
than 1% dot gain variation across entire plates and maintains 98.5%
laser uptime in demanding 24/7 production environments. The
long-life lasers show less than 5% power degradation over 50,000
hours of operation, meeting stringent GRACoL and FOGRA
certification standards.
4. Operational Advantages
The EcooGraphix system delivers superior imaging quality while
reducing plate consumption by 30-40% compared to alternatives.
Energy-efficient operation at just 4kW outperforms both UV-CTP and
competitive thermal systems, contributing to significantly lower
total cost of ownership. The compact 1.9×1.2m footprint integrates
easily into existing workflows while eliminating film costs and
reducing prepress labor requirements by 60-70%.
5. Recommended Applications
Ideal for diverse printing needs, including commercial printing of
brochures and catalogs, packaging applications like labels and
folding cartons, publishing projects including magazines and books,
as well as specialized security printing requiring microtext and
guilloche patterns.
6. Comprehensive Support Package
Backed by an industry-leading 3-year laser warranty, the system
comes with professional on-site installation and operator training.
Customers benefit from 24/7 technical support through our dedicated
hotline, ensuring uninterrupted production and maximum return on
investment.
This advanced thermal CTP solution delivers measurable improvements
in print quality consistency, production efficiency, and
operational cost savings, making it the ideal choice for printers
transitioning to a digital workflow. The T-400 Series' robust
construction and precision engineering ensure reliable,
high-quality output even in the most demanding production
environments.
