Lüscher and Heidelberg launch UV CTP system

Lüscher, manufacturer of technologically advanced imaging systems, and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen have combined two cutting-edge technologies and worked together to develop an external drum system that uses UV technology.

The new XDrum! UV system represents an economical alternative, especially for customers with plate requirements of more than 15,000 square meters per year. Lüscher‘s high-performance UV laser system for the imaging of conventional offset printing plates is said to offer great reliability, outstanding imaging quality and enormous versatility during platemaking.
 
‘Through our cooperation with Heidelberg, the world‘s leading supplier of solutions for sheet-fed offset printing, we are enabling a much larger customer group than in the past to make use of our unique UV imaging technology,’ explained Lüscher COO Anton Tanner. ‘In the fields of both
technology and innovative focus, the two companies are very compatible as the development work for the new system made very clear,’ added Peter Berner, Lüscher‘s CTO.
