Fujifilm Javelin 8900E/S/Z

The Javelin HD 8900 features a next-generation Grating Light Valve – (GLV) thermal imaging technology with a 512 or 1024-channel exposure head. Aimed at companies requiring high throughput at superior levels of image quality and consistency, the Javelin HD 8900Z can image at an impressive rate of 60+ plates per hour.

For companies that require a lower price point, the Javelin 8900E images at 33 plates per hour or the Javelin HD 8900S images at 43 plate per hour. To ensure that a Javelin HD 8900 investment is protected for years of production, both the E and S models can be upgraded in the field to 43 and 60+ plates per hour, respectively.

Computer-to-Plate Printing Using GLV

Grating Light Valve™ (GLV) is a remarkable optical micro-electromechanical system. Because of their efficiency and versatility, GLV modules have been developed for high-definition television monitors, electronic cinema projectors, commercial flight simulator displays, and computer-to-plate devices.

When used for digital imaging, GLV technology provides a fast and ultra-precise method of transferring digital images directly onto a printing plate. GLV-based laser diode exposure heads feature 512 channels (E,S) or 1024 channels (Z) of imaging laser that exposes plates in a wide swath. The imaging width of these exposure heads broadens the area that can be imaged with a single turn of the platesetter drum at low drum rotation speed.
