The UV-Setter is a CtP platesetter for digital imaging of offset printing plates. What makes the UV-Setter unique is that it works with UV-sensitive plates instead of dedicated CtP plates, which are used by most other CtP platesetters on the market today.

Because you can use your inexpensive UV-sensitive plates, the UV-Setter can be easily integrated into your existing workflow processes – providing you an easy entry into the digital world of CtP printing.

With the basysPrint UV-Setter, you gain all the benefits of CtP, while still using the printing plates you know and trust – plates with characteristics and process stability that you are familiar with, and which have produced quality work for many years. Furthermore, UV-sensitive plates are more cost effective to work with and are better for the environment.

With the basysPrint UV-Setter, you can expose any plate format without restriction: from small to large formats up to 1,580mm x 3,270mm (62" x 129") – depending on the model you choose. The UV-Setter is configurable for almost all printing tasks.

In addition, we offer equipment for the following special applications:

Flexo for Newspaper

Screenprinting

Because the basysPrint UV-Setter uses UV-light and incorporates DSI technology, it can be used to produce clean, sharp images on screen printing stencils.
