ProFire Digital Media
ProFire Digital Media, the next generation of digital media for DI printing applications, is optimized for Presstek ProFire Excel enabled DI presses from Ryobi, Kodak Polychrome Graphics and KBA.
In conjunction with Presstek's new ProFire Excel laser imaging technology, ProFire Digital Media allows for a 16-micron imaging spot and supports a 300-line screen as well as stochastic (FM) screening. This significantly broadens the range of high-resolution print applications that can be produced by a DI.
ProFire Digital Media is environmentally friendly. The thermal laser imaging process eliminates hazardous waste associated with conventional lithographic plate production. The non-photographic plates eliminate disposal problems and costs associated with processing chemistry. Since it is a waterless plate system, fountain and alcohol substitutes are also eliminated. And by imaging the plates in register on press utilizing the automatic ink-profiling system on newer DI presses, makeready times are significantly reduced, resulting in significantly less paper and ink waste.
ProFire Digital Media supports a wide variety of waterless inks. Higher surface area ensures uniformed ink lay-down with faster rise to ink density. ProFire Digital Media reduces paper waste, saves ink, and offers run lengths as high as 20,000.
