PlateRite PT-R8800
The PlateRite PT-R8800 platesetter is a high productivity B1+ thermal device available in a number of versions, capable of producing up to 42 press-ready B1 plates (Z version) per hour in manual, semi automatic or fully Automatic configurations. In addition, the PlateRite PT-R8800 also has the flexibility to image a range of smaller plates and an option for resolutions high enough for the printing of bonds and other securities.

Compatible with most B1 and B2 press formats with a maximum plate size of 1160mm x 940mm:
With a maximum plate size of 1160mm x 940mm x 0.3mm the PlateRite PT-R8800 series is compatible with most B1 and B2 presses. In addition, as standard the smallest size of 450mm x 370mm x 0.15mm further extends the systems flexibility (other plate size & gauge options are also available). Integrated punching enables the production of press-ready plates for most commercial sheetfed presses. Custom punches are available, as is a range of offline transfer punches to meet all formats.
Four configurations of platesetter and processor for maximium flexibility:
Four configurations exist with the PlateRite PT-R8800 series. In its most basic form, the platesetter will stand alone requiring both manual load and unload. A low cost upgrade can provide automatic unloading to either an online processor or plate stacker, with a reduction in manual intervention. If full automation is required, the 100 plate single cassette autoloader (one plate size at any time) will significantly improve workflow efficiencies enabling unattended operation for an entire shift. Should your business dictate that several plate sizes are to be available at any one time, then the multi-cassette autoloader will meet your needs. With up to 5 Cassettes online,the system can automatically select from up to five plate sizes.
No safelight requirements mean the machine is easy to use, service and maintain:
Used in conjunction with Fujifilm's thermal CTP plates, you can confidently work in daylight for extended periods. In the event of a laser diode failure, the GLV head enables continued production. Unlike other GLV head designs, with the PlateRite PT-R8800 series, component replacement is possible in the field without having to swap the complete head assembly.
High quality and productive plate making when used with Fujifilm Brillia thermal CTP plates:
The PlateRite PT-R8800 series achieves optimal productivity with Fuji Brillia thermal CTP plates. The high sensitivity of the plates allows the platesetter to image at its fastest speed.
Superb quality and reliability with various automated options:
The original PT-R8000 CTP was launched at IPEX 1998. This system has established an excellent reputation for quality and reliability. With various automated options now available, the system continues to meet customer expectations and is the foundation for many print production facilities.
