Render the text in English. Text3 Fully Automatic Print Preparation
The Quickmaster DI employs a master-based digital printing process. In other words, a physical master is used to print copies with consistently good quality at high speed. First, of course, the plates have to be imaged. After a job has been prepared by the Raster Image Processor (RIP) of the Quick-master DI and stored in a page buffer, the operator can select the job on-screen to start print preparation.
First fresh plate material is fed to all four printing units. This is done by a revolutionary new system in which the plates are reeled off a supply roll inside the plate cylinder. At the same time, the used polyester plates from the previous job are wound onto another roll. All of this happens concurrently in all four printing units in just a few seconds. The plate cylinder holds enough plate material for 35 consecutive jobs. Afterwards the rolls are easy to change. Once the fresh plates are in place, all four of them are imaged in precise register in just six minutes (at 1270 dpi).
Finally, automated cleaning devices get the plates ready to start printing. The entire process is fully automated and takes only about 15 minutes! While the plates are being imaged, the Quickmaster DI operator is free to make other preparations for the pressrun. The inherent versatility of the press permits preloading of the paper, among other things. Changing formats could hardly be easier, requiring only a few quick adjustments to be made with the central format setting at the feeder. All four printing units can also be centrally adjusted to the thickness of the stock being printed on, using a handwheel at the delivery.
The 0. K. Sheet in Minutes
The Quickmaster DI requires a minimum of startup sheets to get the desired print results. This is because the inking profile is calculated for all four colors on the basis of the rasterized image data and transferred to the CPC-controlled ink fountains for presetting. As a result, even the very first sheet closely approximates the target density profile A few corrections are then all that is needed before starting the run. The operator remotely adjusts inking in the individual printing units from the control console.
There is no need to adjust the register of the individual colors, because the plates are imaged in precise register to begin with. You save even more time because in waterless offset you don't have to worry about getting the right ink/water balance. The result even fewer startup sheets. Once it gets going, the Quickmaster DI prints short four-color runs in convincing quality at a top speed of 10,000 sheets per hour. Tonerbased color printers are unable to compete with this kind of performance. After the job is finished, automatic blanket wash-up systems quickly get the press ready for the next run.
