Specifically designed for the news print market, the VM4 News platesetter is a 4-up (panorama) violet metal CTP solution that produces plates up to 36.5×25″ (927x635mm) maximum size at 1270 dpi with linescreens of 180 lpi. Twice as fast as the VM4, the VM4 News utilizes the same air-bearing spin motor to deliver quality, long-running plates. Featuring an internal drum platesetter, the VM4 News system is tightly integrated with the Symphony Workflow and the P24 photopolymer plate processor.

Purchase only the features and drivers you need. Later, you can easily add additional features and drivers to meet your shop’s growing production demands.

Violet Laser and Internal Drum Technology

VM series platesetters utilize a single, reliable 60mW violet laser diode instead of a complex array of high-power thermal lasers. This same laser leverages technology gn and auto vacuum mechanism that provide quick plate changes and the option to image various sized plates to suit all common 4-up and 2-up presses. We also offer a complete line of developed for consumer electronic devices. The 60mW violet laser technology is less expensive, requires less power, generates less heat and lasts far longer than thermal lasers.

The internal drum design is a simple reliable imaging technology that allows you to image accurate, long-running violet metal plates at 1270 dpi.

Maximum Platemaking Versatility

The VM4 News features a manual load-unload desiplates and chemicals for the VM series that have been optimized to deliver incredible quality. Both plates and chemicals are tuned to ensure plate-to-plate consistency.
