Case Study Summary

One of Europe’s leading prepress specialists, Athena Graphics is an international family owned business. What separates Athena Graphics from the competition is Athena Lab, where 6 people research and develop new technologies. As such, Athena Graphics intended to enhance its plate quality and expand its platemaking production capacity. Patented LED UV light technology in the innovative XPS Crystal allows precise and simultaneous back and main exposure. Unlike the fluctuating output of lightbulbs in other UV frames, the UV LEDs in the XPS Crystal emit consistent radiation. UV LEDs don’t need to warm-up either.
