DPX Genesis - Prepress Equipment and Prepress Printing Supplies

DPX Genesis
Take the fast track to press - Go directly from Computer-to-Plate
The DPX Genesis from
Purup •Eskofot is a small, fast,
easy-to-use Computer-to-Plate
solution, designed specifically
for small format printers. The
DPX Genesis is not a modified
film imagesetter but an
advanced Computer-to-Plate
(CtP) unit that uses the best
technology from both imagesetters and platemakers.
With the DPX Genesis, you can
produce press-ready plates that
are imaged, cut to size and
dried.
The low-cost CtP solution
Purup • Eskofot has developed
the DPX Genesis. Because, quite
simply, this unique unit is the
affordable way for small format
operations to upgrade their production processes to a digital
workflow - and create press-ready
plates quickly and economically.
Platesetter and
imagesetter in one
The DPX Genesis is a platesetter
and imagesetter in one,
designed to process both film
and plate materials. That means
that no matter what the job or
run length, the all-purpose DPX
Genesis can handle it.
To run film, the film option contains a roll holder and take-up
The environmental correctly designed processor
cassette so that film can be
processed in an off-line processor. Plate material is processed
in the in-line processor - and
changing from film to plate
takes less than five minutes.
Advanced capstan technology
The DPX Genesis uses state-ofthe-art Capstan technology,
which exposes material as it
passes in front of a laser. The
advantage of Capstan is that
it guarantees a high level of
productivity - up to 28 plates
per hour can be produced.
No more waste
Plate material for the
DPX Genesis is delivered in 61meter rolls (220 feet). One roll is
long enough to generate 150
plates. And each new plate
begins where the previous one
ends so there's no waste, as is
usually the case when using an
imagesetter to produce plates.
State-of-the-art processor
Purup • Eskofot's advanced technological know-how went into
the design of DPX Genesis's
unique 2-bath processor for
polyester plate processing. The
technology is a further development of the Purup • Eskofot technology used in its camera platemakers.
Platepath
The 2-bath processor operates
with only two very small containers, which reduces the
amount of chemistry used. Two
small replenishment bottles are
mounted on the back of each
machine - with enough activator
and stabilizer to feed one roll of
plate material. This simplifies
operation because all the operator has to do is change the
replenishment bottles each time
a new roll of plate material is
inserted.
Easy disposal of chemistry
The processor's overflow pipe
is designed to control the chemistry level in the containers.
Excess chemicals will automatically run into the waste container and when the container is
full, a warning signal tells the
operator to empty the container.
All the operator has to do is
click the tube onto the container and push the button. A
pump will automatically empty
the container, so there is no
contact with the chemicals.
No reason to wait
With the advent of the DPX
Genesis, there is now a low-cost,
all-purpose solution for small
format printers who are ready
to take the fast track to press.
So why wait?
