DIGITAL PLATESETTERS -- The Write One

Not to be confused with visible violet systems, basysPrint's UV-Setter uses a regular UV (ultra-violet) lamp to digitally expose most UV-sensitive materials, including conventional plates and proofs. Its current systems use a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) to direct the UV light through an optical lens onto the plate to write a spot or divert it to prevent imaging. The system is said to produce square pixels with sharply defined edges, which gives the appearance of higher quality imaging at lower resolutions.
