- Dimensions
Platesetter - 2440mm (W) x 1295mm (D) x 1302mm (H); Blower - 693mm (W) x 715mm (D) x 550mm (H)
* Please refer to related products section for dimensions of bridge, processor and autoloader options. - Environment
For optimum performance and image quality: Temperature - 23°C ± 2°C; Humidity - 40-70% non-condensing; No excessive air contaminates.
* Fujifilm strongly recommend that the optimum environmental conditions are met. - Format
External Drum B1+ - Imaging size
Around Drum = Platesize less 24mm (using 12mm head and tail clamps) or platesize less 16 mm (using 8mm head and tail clamps); Across Drum = Same as Plate size.
* Drum rotation speed and productivity will be reduced when using 8mm clamps. - Laser characteristics
32 channel (E model) and 64 channel (S & Z model), Fibre type, 830nm thermal laser diodes - Media loading
Manual (also known as semi-automatic because once the plate is presented to the platesetter it is then automatically loaded and unloaded from the drum). This configuration is also available with a bridge to the processor. Automatic, single cassette autoloader and bridge. Automatic, multi cassette autoloader and bridge.
* For automated configurations, plates are loaded into the cassette with interleaf paper. The interleaf is then automatically removed by the system prior to plate loading. Multi cassette autoloader is supplied with 3 cassettes as standard, a further 2 can be added. A cassette can accommodate up to 100 plates. - Media size
Maximum = 1160mm x 940mm (0.2 - 0.3mm); Minimum = 450mm x 370mm. (304mm x 370mm Factory Option) - Media thickness
0.15-0.3mm (0.4mm factory fitted option)
* 0.4mm only available for plate sizes between 950x500mm and 1160x940mm. Autoloader also requires a factory option and only supports plate sizes above 1030x770mm. - Media types
