With this state-of-the-art upgrade, Spectrum Marketing is committed to delivering exceptional printing solutions, ensuring that our clients receive outstanding results every time.

Heidelberg Platesetter

Peak performance platesetters in medium-size format. Suprasetter A106/106.

The Suprasetter A106/106’s modular design offers maximum flexibility for medium-format production needs. Its Intelligent Diode System (IDS) significantly reduces production losses, while the integrated cooling system protects against performance issues caused by external temperature fluctuations.

Laser technology

Heidelberg’s exclusive laser systems for the Suprasetter deliver exceptional imaging quality. Thanks to its modular design, additional laser modules can be added quickly and easily on-site, minimizing downtime and service needs. Production reliability is further enhanced by the Intelligent Diode System (IDS), which allows operation to continue seamlessly even if a diode fails. Additionally, the Suprasetter’s high depth of focus effectively compensates for any plate irregularities, ensuring consistent results.

Smart Plate Handling

The Suprasetter A106/106 enhances plate handling with Smart Plate Handling across all upgrade levels for maximum convenience. The Dual Cassette Loader (DCL) system is positioned at the back, while the Auto Pallet Loader (APL) is docked at the front using a foldable transport bridge. An integrated plate conveyor within the auto loader further optimizes space, reducing the system’s overall footprint. This setup offers a clear advantage over conventional systems, which often limit bypass functionality and require an external conveyor. The Suprasetter’s design also enables quick manual plate loading, ensuring both automatic and manual loading are equally efficient.

Temperature stabilizer

The temperature of all imaging-related components is kept constant, ensuring that printing plates are always imaged under consistent conditions—a feature especially valuable for plate remakes. By preventing deviations due to ambient temperature fluctuations, this system preserves high register accuracy in the plates, leading to faster press makeready and minimal waste.

Internal punching system

The Suprasetter can be optionally equipped with precise internal punching systems, ensuring maximum registration accuracy for punched plates. This setup reduces press makeready times and minimizes waste. Additional punching systems can also be installed on-site whenever needed.

Debris removal system

The Debris Removal System is an optional vacuum and filtration setup designed to clear away loose particles and dust. With this system installed, the Suprasetter A106/106 is fully prepared to handle ablative plate processing.
