Fujifilm Saber V8 HS

Combining a newly designed mirror spinning at 60,000 rpm with dual laser optics.

The fully automatic Fujifilm Saber V-8 HS can output 50 8-up plates per hour a 2400 dpi and 70 plates per hour at 1200 dpi, making it the fastest 8-up commercial engine on the market today. At 2400 dpi, the Saber V-8 HS can produce a four-color 8-up set in just 4 1/2 minutes. With higher productivity and a lower price than its competitors, the Saber V-8 HS is a compelling reason to choose violet.

In single-laser mode, Saber platesetters offer a competitive 19 8-page plates per hour at 2400 dpi, ideal for those converting from film-based production or starting up with CTP.

When you need more throughput, instead of repeating the entire platesetter research, testing, purchase, and installation process, you just add a second laser to nearly double productivity — up to 32 8-page plates per hour at 2400 dpi. Start it back up and everything remains the same — except, of course, for the additional throughput.

Saber Configuration

Saber V-8 HS features fully automatic operation, supporting up to 300 plates in a database driven cassette loader. Different size plates can be loaded in each cassette while intelligent software keeps track of what each cassette contains and loads the correct cassette for each job, making it possible to leave the unit running unattended overnight.

Fully Automatic

  • Multiple on-line cassettes (three standard)
  • Automatic plate loading with support for five cassettes
  • Automatic interleaf removal
  • Automatic processing

Fast Plate Handling

The Saber V-8 HS can image up to 300 plates before reloading is required. Plates are drawn into the loading section where interleaf sheets are removed and discarded into a hopper below. Plates are then loaded onto the surface of the internal imaging drum, locked, and held firmly in place under vacuum. After imaging, plates are ejected and transported to the integrated, high-speed online processor.

The transport mechanism is self-cleaning to ensure that stray particles, such as plate burrs, do not contaminate the imaging surface. The plate handling section is also kept free of airborne particles by an integrated particle management system.
