The LS Jet 300 now incorporates a 120mw violet diode, allowing more energy at the plate surface and is ready for future plate technologies. The BlueFin processor sets new standards in process monitoring with FlowControl and a chemistry free version, the BlueFin CF will be shown at the Ifra Expo.

Krause will also show the Service-Gateway, a new remote maintenance concept, that increases the availability of the Krause CtP systems and minimizes service costs and reaction times.

The following Krause innovations will be released at IfraExpo 2007 in Vienna:

• Smart'n'Easy — a new CtP class with an innovative complete concept from workflow over CTP and processing to punch and bending from Krause.
• CtP Easy with higher output speeds of 120 and 150 plates an hour
• LS Performance with higher performance for 120, 150 and 200 plates an hour, and flexible feeding for up to 600 single plates and Double Media Sensor
• LS Jet 300 with 120 mw violet diode for more laser power and new electricity- and pneumatic switchboards for easier maintenance
• BlueFin – FlowControl Optimal process monitoring for a reliable CtP production
• BlueFin CF — Updatable entry into chemistry free CTP Plate processing
• Krause Service-Gateway — Internet-based remote service solution
