AVALON VLF

Big benefits. Big results.

Avalon VLF (Very Large Format) computer-to-plate (CtP) engines are star performers in efficiency- and quality-driven plate production – perfect for growing your commercial printing business. They will handle any plate size from 16- to 48-up.

Unlock the full potential of your commercial printing business with the sustainable Avalon VLF (Very Large Format) computer-to-plate (CtP) engines. Handling plates of up to 2900 x 1350 mm and achieving a maximum throughput speed of 68 pph, these thermal platesetters are unique among their kind and prove themselves in productivity and flexibility.

The Avalon VLF series comes in different levels of automation to match your preferred workflow and available floor space, yet consistently offers prime imaging quality. All platesetters are equipped with Grating Light Valve (GLV) imaging technology, enabling the spotless transfer of your digital creations directly onto the printing plate.

Avalon VLF in a nutshelll

  • VLF external drum thermal platesetters featuring proven technology and consistent output quality with imaging resolutions up to 340 lpi Sublima.
  • Throughput speed of up to 68 pph, depending on model, plate type and plate size.
  • Upgradable engines featuring press punching and exceptional registration accuracy.
  • Multiple automation options, such as a multi-cassette loader and a skid loader.
  • Integration with Agfa Graphics’ Apogee prepress workflow solution.
  • Agfa Graphics, your VLF expert

    Productivity is of the utmost importance to large commercial printing companies that are under extreme time pressure. Boasting years of experience in very large format printing, Agfa Graphics is the ideal partner to help these printers accomplish advanced process efficiency and automation, as well as cost control, in their prepress department. We even offer a CtP engine that handles plates up to 2900 mm wide for the largest-sized presses – the Avalon VLF N48.

    Industry-leading productivity

    Thanks to their advanced GLV technology, Avalon VLF engines offer best-in-class productivity and throughput speed. Combine the N24-70-XT or N36-70-XT with the Energy Elite Eco printing plate, for example, to produce no fewer than 68 plates per hour and still deliver premium-quality results.

    For those who need an extra-powerful productivity boost, there is a press punching system available for Avalon VLF engines, significantly shortening make-ready time. Add the necessary punching blocks for your different presses and get ready to speed things up. More productivity-increasing options include dual plate loading and twin imaging, depending on the model.
