SpectroPlate
All-Vision
has exactly the
same menu functions as the
Expert
-model.
The
Start
- and the
Expert
-Version can
be upgraded to the
All-Vision
model via
a hardware expansion. If interested, please
contact us for details.
Selection of the plate type:
The processless printing plate types Fuji
Pro T and Kodak Thermal Direct can be
selected from the „Plate Type“ menu.
Plate types available only for
All-Vision
will
be displayed shaded in the „Plate Type“ menu
of the
Start-
and
Expert
-models.
Before taking measurements, the plate area
to be measured has to be washed clean with
a plate cleaner fluid or a dampening solution.
Procedure to clean the plate area:
Apply a thick layer of plate cleaner fluid on
the area which has to be measured later and
let it remain on the plate surface for approx.
1 minute. Then wipe it off the applied area
with a soft cloth. Do not apply too much
pressure while wiping it off in order to avoid
that particles will be attached to the surface.
In a final step wash off remaining cleaner fluid
and particles by using a soft cloth and pure
water (or solvent water which is used in the
printing press). Be sure to make the measu-
rements on the dry plate.

It is normal, that during measu-
rement of processless plates the
measurement light on the sample
area will be less bright than
known from the measurement
of conventional plates.
2.3 Additional functions of the „All-Vision“-model
SpectroPlate
All-Vision
is a special version of the SpectroPlate series for the measu-
rement of chemistry-free, processless printing plates with a very low visible contrast.
A specific spectral distribution of the measurement light source enables precise
measurements on these modern printing plates.
