Advantage N New advantages Greater productivity Affordable excellence STAY AHEAD. WITH AGFA GRAPHICS.

Advantage N Advanced technology. New advantages. We have taken the best features of our previous generation CtP systems – Polaris and Advantage – and added greater productivity, reliability and ease of use. We also made the end result more affordable to give you an even greater advantage – Advantage N. Combining high-quality standards with violet-laser imaging technology, Advantage N addresses the needs of large, medium and small-volume printers. It offers you a choice between several plate-loading mechanisms and various plate throughput speeds. For even more processing flexibility,...

AGFA GRAPHICS Absolute integration and ease of use Using a Gigabit Ethernet connection, the Advantage N integrates into any business network environment as easily as a simple printer. The browser-based User Interface (UI) can reside on any computer in the network and/or on the optional engine display (via a VSN connection). Using the password-protected UI, operators can access the engine to adjust media settings and control production. Service engineers can download upgrades and perform service remotely. All I/O and motor controls are connected through the latest CAN Bus technology. An EXT...

Optimal reliability Built-in, fail-safe systems The highly intelligent Advantage N immediately informs the operator when the engine is about to run out of plates. It also detects damaged plates and forgotten cardboard, and discards them into an integrated dump area (only on the Advantage N-DL and Advantage N-TR models) to avoid any damage to the CtP engine or the online processor. Agfa Graphics’ patented Arkitex PowerWedge© replaces the analog calibration procedure with a simple digital one, thus eliminating the need to manually check the correct exposure level. Higher quality and greater...

Identical high-standard output quality Whether you use the Advantage N-SA (semi-automatic) engine or the top-end Advantage N-TR VHS (full-automatic, 400 plates per hour) makes no difference to your output quality. The only differences are the production speed and the degree of automation. Advantage N is built around a modular concept, which means that the imaging part is the same for all units. They all contain the same laser, optics and High-Precision Drive System. This allows you to combine different Advantage N engine types (e.g. for backup reasons) and still be sure of an identical...

The Advantage N-PL can image up to 3,100 plates continously at an impressive throughput speed of up to 400 plates per hour Advantage N-PL: full CtP autonomy Taking productivity to a whole new level When it comes to productivity and automation, the Advantage N-PL is in a class of its own. It has the ability to image up to 3,100 plates continuously at an impressive throughput speed of up to 400 plates per hour. Continuous plate production is made possible by the integrated pallet load module of the Advantage N-PL. This module supports two different plate format sizes – single plates and...
