The Future Belongs to Computer-to-Plate • TheProsetter platesetters have everything youwant when it comes to efficiency: Maximummodularity, reliability, automation and quality.

Commercial printers today find themselves facing a

considerable challenge – print jobs are becoming more

and more complex and the number of jobs is increasing

all the time. The result of this is that customers are now

expecting the very highest quality in ever shorter time

frames. The CtP platesetters in the Prosetter® series from

Heidelberg® provide the ideal solution to this problem.

Taking up very little space, they have been designed to

deliver a high level of functionality and performance at a

low investment cost. The Prosetter series is also unique in

its class since its modular design means it can be expanded

at will. A decision for a Prosetter is therefore also a decision

for successful CtP production.

Expandable and flexible

With Prosetter platesetters, Heidelberg offers you all the

benefits of CtP production at a low investment cost. The

innovative design of the Prosetter 52, 74 and 102 models

is based on violet CtP technology and is guaranteed to

impress. They can also be upgraded to fully automatic

high-performance units with Single Cassette Loader (SCL)

or Multi Cassette Loader (MCL). Its compact design and

powerful air filter technology, which protects the inside

of the machine from soiling, means that the Prosetter

can be used in almost any production environment.

Prosetters equipped with SCL and MCL can also be operated

under daylight conditions. Yellow light in the production

room is no longer needed.

Cost-Effective CtP Production • Prosettersequipped with high-performance violet technology, simple plate handling and expandability up to full automation will reallybring your production up to speed.

Cutting-edge technology plus automation

Over 13 years of experience in internal drum imaging

has enabled Heidelberg to develop the Prosetter range, a

generation of violet platesetters with outstanding quality

and reliability. The internal drum architecture delivers the

precision that you have come to expect from Heidelberg.

In all the Prosetter models, the printing plate is precisely

aligned in a half shell and held in place by a vacuum

during imaging. The laser is moved along this half shell

and images the plate one dot at a time. The laser spot is

guided via a rotating prism, delivering precision down

to thousandths of a millimeter. This is made possible by

the air bearing, which is frictionless.

Fitting the Prosetter with an SCL or MCL makes it even

more user-friendly and reliable. Operator intervention

is reduced to a minimum and you can produce non-stop

for many hours.

Step 2: While the first plate fixed in the drum is being imaged, the SCL orMCL prepares the next plate for production.

Step 1: As soon as an imaging job has been received, the SCL or MCLloaders feed a plate to the Prosetter. The slip sheet is automatically removedand placed in the collecting tray prior to this stage.

Step 4: While the imaged printing plate is being developed in the interfacedprocessor and an imaging process is underway, the SCL or MCL can bebusy preparing the next printing plate.

The MCL enables automatic access to up to four different plate formatsthat can be selected under job control using a software package.

Step 3: Once the first printing plate has been imaged, the SCL or MCLautomatically passes the next plate to the imaging unit. The imaged plateis transferred directly to an interfaced online processor.

Impressive Features Prosetter 6Prosetter User-Friendly Plate Handling4

User-Friendly Plate Handling • The loading system allows fast and easy plate handlingunder daylight conditions.

Daylight operation

The Single Cassette Loader and Multi Cassette Loader

are light-proof loading systems which automatically

feed the plates into the interfaced Prosetter. Prosetters

equipped with an SCL or MCL system can therefore

operate under daylight conditions. Yellow light is only

needed for filling up the cassettes. The light-tight cas-

settes each contain up to 150 plates of 0.15 mm (0.006 in)

thickness or 100 plates of 0.30 mm (0.012 in) thickness.

Sensor-controlled plate positioning and monitoring

ensures reliable production. One unique feature of the

fully automatic loading systems is that they automati-

cally remove and check the slip sheet. The slip sheets are

deposited flat and cleanly in a 400 sheet capacity collec-

tion tray. This prevents troublesome paper jams and also

allows multi-shift production without having to empty

the tray. After imaging, the plates are fed – narrow side

first – into the processor via an integrated 90° conveyor.

This means that the smallest possible automatic proces-

sors can be connected to the SCL, thereby cutting chemi-

cal consumption and saving space and money.

Plate transport is easy with a Prosetter fitted with fully automatic MultiCassette Loader - even when space is at a premium. The Prosetter cassettecarriage offers maximum convenience.

Impressive Features • Each Prosetter boasts technical features delivering long-term increasesin plate throughput.

operator can always tell at a glance which printing plates

are currently being worked on and which plates are

assigned for future operations. Through “Plate on

Demand”, Heidelberg is showing that the integration of

printroom and prepress is already a reality.

Temperature compensation

If a single color separation requires post-imaging work,

even tiny temperature fluctuations can cause registration

problems – but not with a Prosetter! Precise internal tem-

perature measurement and imaging adjustment ensure

perfect post-production work on plates. Costly downtimes

can thus be minimized, since there is no need to create a

complete plate set.

Protecting against dust

To prevent dust being deposited in the Prosetter, there is

always a slight overpressure in the unit. The air that is

drawn in for this purpose is finely filtered through an

integrated filter system, thereby ensuring that no dust

particles find their way onto the optical system or into

the imaging unit.

Silver halide and photopolymer plates

The issue of the plate type is irrelevant for the Prosetter.

Indeed, the Prosetter allows you to choose freely whether

you wish to use silver halide or photopolymer plates. The

60 MW laser head can be set easily to both plate types.

Consequently, both types of plate can be imaged over the

400 to 410 nm spectral range.

Large plate formats

By introducing the additional plate format for the

Printmaster® QM 46, Heidelberg is also setting new stan-

dards in terms of format flexibility for 8-page platesetters.

The Prosetter 102 is now configured in such a way that it

can effortlessly serve all printing press formats from the

Printmaster QM 46 to the Speedmaster® XL 105.

The latest punching technology

The Prosetter works with absolute register accuracy.

Depending on the model, the violet platesetters can be

equipped with up to four integrated punching systems

for almost any common printing press from Heidelberg

and other manufacturers. After the printing plate has

been loaded, it is centered and fixed in position by means

of a vacuum. Imaging then takes place and the plate is

automatically punched for the chosen printing press. The

result is a perfectly punched register and shorter make-

ready times. Production is accelerated too.

Workflow linkup and consumables

The new JDF-based Prinect Printready System™ work-

flow solutions from Heidelberg mean that all Prosetter

units can be integrated easily into every workflow.

What’s more, local Heidelberg contacts can always rec-

ommend a broad range of consumables such as printing

plates, chemicals and processors.

Loading plates – no problem!

Heidelberg has developed its own cassette carriage for

transporting plates easily from the storage area to the

platesetter site and for user-friendly filling of the loaders.

When designing the carriage, we paid particular attention

to maximizing ergonomic benefits and thereby ensuring

the greatest possible advantage to the operator in every

step of the process. For example, the cassette carriage can

be inclined when the cassette is being loaded. This makes

it much easier to insert the plates. If necessary, the cassette

carriage can also be pushed along easily in this position.

This is an advantage which is particularly important when

working in small rooms with normal doorways, and

when transporting large printing plates. With a width of

less than 80 cm, the raised Prosetter cassette carriage is so

narrow that it can be maneuvered easily in even the

smallest of spaces.

The cassette carriage can also be used to load the SCL

and MCL systems – an effortless procedure. This is done

by simply docking the carriage in the horizontal position

and unlocking the cassette. As soon as it has been inserted

into the loader, the Prosetter can resume operation.

“Plate on Demand” with Prinect CP2000 Center 1)

The Prosetter can be integrated effortlessly into a work-

flow featuring the Prinect® CP2000 Center®. There are a

number of significant advantages in controlling plate pro-

duction from the Prinect CP2000 Center. For example,

the operator can select the relevant file on the monitor

of the Prinect CP2000 Center in the printroom and start

plate production – all this without having any knowledge

of prepress processes. No matter whether he’s working

the night shift when no prepress operative is available

or he’s simply carrying out post-production work on a

plate during the day shift, the printer can select from the

listed imaging files using the touchscreen of the Prinect

CP2000 Center and thereby control the Prosetter directly.

He can naturally also change the sequence of plates

being imaged at any time. What’s more, the CP2000

After the cassette carriage has been docked onto an SCL or MCL inhorizontal position, the cassette is simply unlocked – this makes theoperator’s work far easier.

The operator can start production of a printing plate on the PrinectCP2000 Center without any prior knowledge of prepress processes.

Once the cassette has been unlocked, it can be inserted easily into theloader.
