The firm claims that the Xpose! UV Conventional (pictured) will be able to expose standard plates using the diodes, which are used by other manufacturers with dedicated violet-sensitive plates.
It will show the technology on its B2 Xpose! 75, although it said the technology will be available across its range including VLF machines.
The two plates are made by Spanish firm Ipagsa. One TP-2 is a thermal plate while the other the CP-2 is said to be a conventional plate that can be imaged by the 405nm lasers in the Xpose! UV Conventional.
Lscher is marketing the platesetter at start-up printers or those that want to reduce plate costs. It has not released pricing for the machine.
The platesetter is due to ship in September.
