  1. High Definition Exposure No Longer for the Little Guy

  2. eXact Platemaking • Won the 2003 FPPA Technology Innovator Award • Tagline “Digital Quality at Analog Prices” • Further development has shown that we also improve digital plates • Wholeheartedly embracing the inevitable • Introducing today another innovation

  3. eXact and DigitalA Marriage Made in Heaven

  4. Digital Platemaking Today • Advancements in ablation • Advancements in plate technologies • Assume a bump curve is required because of no advancements in exposure technology • Sacrifices in tonal range due to oxygen depletion

  5. Is a Bump Curve Necessary? • With banklight exposure it is • As the UV is slowly being delivered to the plate, oxygen is being depleted thereby shrinking the dots • What would happen if you could deliver greater amounts of UV to the photopolymer in shorter periods of time?

  6. Cortron’s Answer to Digital Exposure • Eliminate the need for the bump curve • Linear exposure is possible (1-98%) • Recapture the lost tonal range

  7. Introducing eXact Scanning Exposure

  8. What is Scanning Exposure? • A beam emitting light source that rapidly traverses the photopolymer delivering a set number of joules • Developed in conjunction with some of the top trade shops in the US

  9. Why Scanning Exposure? • Inherent difficulties with bank light systems • Point light systems have not been proven for larger plate sizes • Fixed reflector systems like theeXact 3040 are more efficient for smaller formats • Easily adapted to other formats

  10. How it Has Been Adapted • eXact 5280 SE • eXact ITR • Other formats planned shortly

  11. eXact 5280 SE • Dual headed, patented liquid cooled light source • 16” wide beam of light • Chilled bed • Digitally integrated • Selectable exposure based on plate size • Touchscreen operation

  12. eXact ITR • Up to 90” sleeves • Up to 52” repeat • Single or double plasma source design • Post expose and de-tack option • Programmable exposure speeds

  13. eXact 3648 • Development nearly completed • Scanning exposure and de-tack • Chilled bed • Taking orders with deliveries beginning in June

  14. Benefits of Scanning Exposure • Ability to eliminate the CTP bump curve • Recapture the lost tonal range through linear exposure • Faster exposures • Uniform floors • Plate-to-plate consistency • Less rejects • Better quality analog and digital plates • Easily adapted to other formats

  15. eXact No Longer Just for the Little Guys
