⭐ Extremely wide multi-format capacity

The PlateRite Ultima can expose:

• very large plates up to 2,280 × 1,585 mm,
• small plates down to 450 × 370 mm (with the special small-plate option).

This wide size range places the series in a category of its own — true multi-format platesetters, capable of handling everything from small jobs to VLF packaging production.

⭐ GLV™ technology with up to 1,024 channels for maximum quality

The PlateRite Ultima series uses a revolutionary exposure head based on GLV™ (Grating Light Valve) technology:

• ✔ up to 1,024 laser beams,
• ✔ fast exposure over wide strips,
• ✔ fine screening and stable dot quality,
• ✔ impeccable consistency at high speeds.

This technology enables high throughput without sacrificing image quality, making it ideal for industrial printing and premium commercial jobs.

⭐ Industrial productivity for each model

PlateRite Ultima 16000N

• up to 42 plates/hour at 2400 dpi
• maximum format: 1470 × 1180 mm

PlateRite Ultima 24000N (Z/S)

• up to 46 plates/hour in the Z variant
• maximum format: 1652 × 1325 mm

PlateRite Ultima 40000N (ZT/ZS)

• up to 35 large VLF plates/hour
• up to 70 plates 1030 × 800 mm/hour (ZT model – dual head)
• maximum format: 2280 × 1600 mm

⭐ Dual-plate support (double imaging)

The large models in the series (e.g. 40000N) can load two plates simultaneously, each up to 1060 × 1600 mm, which:

• ✔ doubles productivity,
• ✔ reduces the number of loading/unloading cycles,
• ✔ optimizes production time.

⭐ Inline punching for perfect registration

The Ultima series optionally offers an inline punching system:

• ✔ plates are punched right before exposure,
• ✔ human errors are avoided,
• ✔ registration on the press is improved,
• ✔ makeready times are considerably reduced.

Up to 10 punching modules can be fitted, configurable according to the press used.

⭐ Full automation for handling large-format plates

To maximize productivity, the series is compatible with a wide range of automated systems:

• MA-L – Multi Autoloader
• SA-L – Single Autoloader
• SKID – pallet loading
• AT-M – automatic transport units

The equipment can be integrated into a fully automated CTP line, ensuring maximum efficiency in VLF production.

⭐ Consistent quality with Fujifilm plates

The Ultima series reaches maximum performance when used together with Fujifilm high-sensitivity thermal plates. These:

• ✔ allow exposure at the system's maximum speed,
• ✔ ensure superior quality and consistency.
