Costomer advandages

Technological advantages

• Integrates easily into all existing production processes.• Can be installed without problems in all commercial RIPs and on

current platesetters (Autologic, basysPrint, Newsetter, Polaris etc.).• SandyP stands perfectly clear on all plates (Kodak Polychrome,

Fuji, Agfa etc.) and permits to repeat reproductions in identical quality.

• SandyP produces on current presses (MAN Roland, Wifag, KBA etc.) outstanding images and a stable quality throughout

production. • Once on paper, SandyP is elegant and smooth like silk.

19


Costomer advandages

Operational advantages

• The dot increase can be calculated, controlled and steered precisely.• Gradation curves installed on the RIP guarantee optimal and flawless

reproductions.• Printing elements no longer visible – no more annoying screen

structures ( moirés, mechanical breaks) in pictures.• Dot closure no longer a problem.• Easy to use for prepress crews, thus efficient.• Specially designed for CtP and CtcP.

20


Costomer advandages

Commercial advantages

• No additional technical investments required.• Existing installations (platesetting equipment, printing presses etc.)

can be used unchanged.• Customer`s demands can be fulfilled more easily.• Increased profitability in the offset sector.• Leading market position – better competitiveness.
