Details PlateRite News 2000E/S/S+

Advanced Technology and High-speed output

The PlateRite News 2000S+ features a 64-channel light source that makes it possible to image a remarkable 106 plates per hour*. It also offers superior halftone dot reproduction, thanks to its use of thermal plates. What's more, two plates can be loaded onto the drum at once and imaged sequentially. By reducing the number of times plates need to be loaded, dual plate loading further increases productivity.
* For 1L1W (320 x 470 mm/12.5" x 18.5") plates at 1,200 dpi, when dual plate loading is used. Dual plate loading is only available with the 2000S+/2000S/2000E models.

Securing productivity through technology that answers the strict needs of today’s newspaper industry
Plate loading options to suit your productivity needs

There are four different types of plate loading options available to suit your specific needs. They include a feed tray, semiautomatic loader (no interleaf removal), single-cassette autoloader (with interleaf removal), and multi-cassette autoloader (maximum 3 cassettes, with interleaf removal). If you choose the feed tray to begin with, you can upgrade to an optional autoloader at a later time if your production needs increase.

A variety of plate sizes

The PlateRite News 2000S+/2000S/2000E are perfect for pressrooms that use multiple plate sizes. They can output plates for most presses in the B3 to B1 range, with a minimum plate size of 290 x 460 mm (11.5" x 18.2") and a maximum plate size of 980 x 685 mm (38.5" x 26.9"), respectively, for plates ranging from 0.2 mm (7.9 mil) to 0.3 mm (11.8 mil) thick.

Plate auto-balancing takes the burden off operators

The PlateRite News 2000S+/2000S/2000E are perfect for pressrooms that use multiple plate sizes. They can output plates for most presses in the B3 to B1 range, with a minimum plate size of 290 x 460 mm (11.5" x 18.2") and a maximum plate size of 980 x 685 mm (38.5" x 26.9"), respectively, for plates ranging from 0.2 mm (7.9 mil) to 0.3 mm (11.8 mil) thick.

6 mm clamps

Clamps are used to hold the plate when it is wrapped around the drum. The greater the area that the clamps occupy, the more they infringe on the actual image area, and the greater the risk that they will come in contact with the ink. Since cleaning the clamps takes precious time, there is an advantage to reducing their size, and the PlateRite News 2000 do just that by using clamps a mere 6 mm (0.23") in width.
