Testimonial
With the investment in the XPS Crystal we now have more capacity on our three CDIs and we can make the plates to higher quality standards because now we can give front and back exposure simultaneously.

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.
An investment in the XPS Crystal 5080 did exactly that.
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.

With the investment in the XPS Crystal Athena Graphics has more capacity on its three digital imagers.
And because of the simultaneous front and back exposure, in addition to the consistent light source, the XPS Crystal yields plates with unmatched relief, image consistency and perfectly formed flat-top dots.
Athena Graphics is now able to offer its customers unprecedented plate quality.
