Newspapers--The Front Page Goes Digital

Who will be showing what?

Agfa will show its POLARIS 100E imagesetter, as well as its entire Avantra family of imagesetting systems. Also, Agfa will introduce Phoenix, a new imagesetter designed specifically for the newspaper market.

Michael Phillips, newspaper market manager for Agfa, reports that Polaris 100E will produce 85 plates per hour with slip-sheet removal, designed for newspaper environments. The unit is currently in beta testing with USA Today. Agfa will also bring to NEXPO IntelliTune, a color management solution designed for newspaper printers, and Sherpa, a new digital color proofing device.
