Quicksetter 350 - the Flexible Prepress System for Quick
Printers
The new generation of quick printers produces a whole range
of small-format publications and printed matter such as advertising
materials, letterheads, business cards, price lists and club
magazines. They make their daily living from short runs and short
deadlines and therefore require a prepress solution that is
versatile and allows them a rapid response. Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is presenting a new two-page
imagesetter at drupa which meets these needs perfectly. Enter the
Quicksetter 350.
The Quicksetter 350 has been built around flexibility. This
imagesetter can not only process film with widths of up to 355
millimeters, it can also image polyester plates of formats 250 x
305 millimeters to 355 x 558 millimeters. With its nine resolution
settings ranging from 1000 to 3386 dpi and a maximum screen ruling
of 70 l/ines per centimeter, the Quicksetter 350 ensures
professional output quality every time. It is therefore ideal for
four-color general commercial work when imaging film and for
two-color jobs when imaging polyester plates. Three optional punch
systems - the Printmaster QM 46 offset punch and the Bacher and
Stoesser punches - ensure optimum registration and minimize the
preparation work required.
The special feature about the Quicksetter 350 is its fully
automatic CtPP (Computer to Polyester Plate) workflow for the
Printmaster QM 46. Equipped with an online processor and
Printmaster QM 46 punch, the unit delivers up to 32 print-ready
plates per hour which are already punched and cut to length. These
plates then only have to be clamped into the press. The Quicksetter
therefore offers considerable potential for rationalizing
production, since the user not only saves the cost of film material
and film processing, but also saves the time otherwise spent on
manual operations and plate copy.
A further advantage of the Quicksetter 350 is its size. This
imagesetter, housed on top of the online processor, requires an
area of only 120 x 80 centimeters and can be accommodated in even
the smallest space.
The Quicksetter 350 is flexible, fast and compact and is
therefore the ideal partner for quick printers with two-page
presses such as the Printmaster QM 46 and GTO 52 who are looking to
satisfy their customers' very diverse requirements. The
Quickmaster 350 will be exhibited live at drupa. The complete
system will be available at the end of this year.

The new Quicksetter 350 from Heidelberg supports flexible
film imaging in two-page format and, equipped with online processor
and QM 46 punch, can even output print-ready polyester plates.
Thanks to its compact design, the imagesetter with online processor
can be accommodated on a very small desk area.
