Dolev 8-page output devicesversatile, high productivity imagesetters

Dolev® large-format imagesetters from Creo are proven solutions for 8-page film production, combining superior image quality, efficiency,reliability and ease-of-use. Film loading, imaging, and unloading areautomated, providing labor-saving efficiency and ensuring maximumthroughput. Driven by powerful Creo workflow software that offers fast,automatic RIPing, trapping and automatic picture replacement, Dolevdevices are part of an end-to-end Creo prepress solution. From an entry-level device to high-speed, ultra high-resolution models, Dolevimagesetters deliver solid value to printing operations of any size.

High Speed Spinner

The high-speed spinner, which rotates atspeeds up to 45,000 rpm, is a major factorin the imagesetter’s extremely high imagingspeed.

Produce higher-quality film, in lesstime, and easily handle last-minutechanges, with Dolev 800 large-format imagesetters. Designed forproduction environments wherethroughput and flexibility areessential, the Dolev 800 familyoffers something for every prepress operation.

Trusted in thousands of productionfacilities worldwide Since their introduction in the early1990s, Dolev 800 imagesetters havebeen installed in over 3500facilities worldwide. Their reliabilityon the job is legendary. The Dolevfamily is continually underdevelopment, with new featuresand improvements appearingregularly—many available asupgrades to existing Dolevimagesetters. To protect yourinvestment, and help you expandyour productivity to meet the

demands of a growing business, theDolev 800V can be upgraded to theproductivity of a Dolev 800V2, andthe Dolev 800V2 can be upgraded tothe TSP100 Turbo Screening andthroughput of a Dolev 800V3.

Versatile Dolev devices produce film orshort-run CTP plates Dolev imagesetters feature anumber of advanced features thatprovide flexibility in output, so youcan fine-tune production to meetyour clients’ needs. They canalternately expose film or polyesterplates—allowing you to expand intoshort run computer-to-plate (CTP)production.

Advanced screening technology forhigh-resolution, high-speed imagingOn the Dolev 800V4 imagesetter,innovative dual-beam opticsshorten the exposure time andincrease throughput dramatically.Both Dolev 800V4 and 800V3

models feature powerful newTSP100 Turbo Screening thataccelerates processing andproduces outstanding consistency,reducing the need for exposurecurve calibration. Vignettes arenoiseless and smoothlytransitioned, and artifacts andpatterns are substantially reducedeven in problematic separations.

On Dolev 800V2 and 800V models,Turbo Screening uses specialvector-based technology to rendermore gray levels, for superb screenquality and excellent vignettes,turbo screening ensures maximumthroughput, even at lowimagesetter resolution.

Cassette and custom punching optionsfor fast production with preciseregistration The 3-cassette loading optionenables you to quickly producemany different types of jobs: threedifferent-width rolls of film aresimultaneously available. The smartcassette system automatically loadsthe film that the job specifies, andthen automatically unloads it to aninline processor or an unloadingcassette for cut film.

The 2-cassette loader is for high-volume production: two large-capacity cassettes hold identicalmedia, permitting long periods ofproduction at maximum throughput. The optional customized headpunch prepares pre-punched, plate-ready film, eliminating registrationproblems and making stripping,external punching or cross-punching unnecessary.


Turbo Screening Technology

Creo Turbo Screening technology providessmooth dot shapes, smooth vignettes, anda variety of screen rulings, all at high speed.

Loading Cassettes

The 3-cassette loading option allows threesizes of film to be automatically selected,loaded and unloaded, for unattendedoperation from input to output.

Variable resolution matches the filmoutput to the job requirements Dolev 800 imagesetters featurecontinuously-variable resolution, tomatch any job, from fine artreproduction, to packaging ornewspaper printing.

Up to 10,000 dpi resolution availablefor security printingFor the special needs of securityprinting, the Dolev 800V3 UHR andDolev 800V2 UHR models deliverultra high-resolutions up to 10,000dpi (400 lpmm). Special optical

assemblies produce 5-micron dotsand micron-precise accuracy andregistration, for the printing ofbanknotes, bonds, credit cards, andother high-security documents.

Networked GraphicProduction links creative, production, and business technologies to make printingmore streamlined and to better serve everyoneinvolved in the print process.Tightly integrating Creo andpartner technologies,Networked Graphic Productionis an ongoing developmentthat promises:

Improved Customer Service by using the Internet for online quoting, jobsubmission, project collaboration, as well asonline proofing, change requests andapprovals. Online communication savescourier and travel costs, reduces productiondelays, and provides a record of each interaction.

Streamlined Production Managementwith all systems tied into one database-driven network to track every transaction.Resource planning is simplified, billing errorsand change orders are reduced, whileautomatic load balancing optimally allocatesjobs to operators and equipment.

Integrated Production and Business Systemsincrease efficiency, collaboration and coordination by merging information aboutscheduling, invoicing, billing, and purchasinginto the production network.

Optimized Press-ready File Creationwith automated software tools, designers andprepress shops can reduce the cost of errorsand the delays to repair files.

Automated Content Managementprovides software tools for regionalization,versioning, personalization, job-basedarchiving, and re-purposing of print andelectronic publishing. An integratedproduction network will provide quick access to online digital assets, such asimage libraries, templates, and reprint jobs.

Creo workflow solutionsmaximizing Dolev performance

Dolev 8-page Imagesetter

*Not with PS/M**PostScript imposition workflow for PS/M

The performance of any imagesetter is the combination of the

machine’s performance and the efficiency of the workflow.

Dolev imagesetters are tightly integrated with high-capability

Creo Brisque™ workflow systems to deliver the maximum total

output, and the greatest adaptability to help operators deal

with last-minute changes. Creo PS/M offers an affordable

workflow option, and Creo Prinergy® workflow management

system can also drive Dolev imagesetters through the 1-bit

TIFF file format. Brisque and Prinergy systems extend your

workflow to the Internet via Synapse™ InSite, a Web portal for

client interaction and remote soft proofing.

Implementing a Creo workflow to drive your Dolev 800

imagesetter can be an effective first step in the move toward

computer-to-plate (CTP) production. The same Creo workflow

solution can output to CTF and CTP devices efficiently and

productively.

Creo workflows systems process all popular input formats

efficiently, with automated RIPing, trapping, and image

replacement. A RIP Once workflow gives you the flexibility

and predictability to proof and expose plates from the same

RIPed file. The imposition module has independent layout,

page and marking elements. Each page is processed

separately, so work can begin before the entire flat is

processed. You can change any element, at any stage, before

exposing the separations, and only the changed element is re-

RIPed. With a Creo workflow, Dolev imagesetters deliver their

maximum in production versatility and speed.
