Digital Ready Large Format Mural Paper Processors

The Colex Model RTK 55-60 DP is the first RA4 processor exclusively designed for the output of digital paper writers such as: Durst Lambda, OCÉ Lightjet or any other wide format digital paper printer. The Colex design team introduces innovative and significant features to ensure quality and reliability of processing along with ease of use.

"Your digital paper writer output is too valuable to trust to just any processor.
Protect your investment with the only processor specifically designed for this technology!"

Research shows that users of Wide Format Digital Paper Writers users want:

Straight Feeding of Long Roll Material - It is critical that long roll material is fed on a straight path into the processor to ensure trouble free transport.

Process Stability - Computer Imaging Technology commonly results in large areas of even tones in which any processing variation is immediately noticeable.

High Speed Processing - Given today's production pressures, the last thing you want to do is to introduce bottlenecks into your workflow. You need a fast processor. This becomes critical when processing Display Transparency Materials which normally slows down process times by 60%

The 140cm (55") and 200cm (80") processors were designed to meet the demanding needs of professional labs, such as large quantity runs of sheets or rolls and display materials.

A full line of processors to handle all the current photographic processes for Colour and B&W. The RA4 models are offered in speeds of 100cm (40”) to 150cm (60”) per minute to accommodate the various needs of the marketplace.

State-of-the-art computer aided design practices have enabled to produce the smallest processors in their class with no sacrifice in features or quality. On the average, processors occupy about 20% less floor space than similar models from other manufacturers.

How does Colex do it? The staggered roller concept, exclusive to , enables the racks to be thinner than other designs. The vertical "U" dryer concept enables the dryer to occupy one-third the space of "straight through" drying systems and eliminates the need for an extended catch bin.

Add these new features to such long time design characteristics as solid construction, oversized transport system components, washing crossovers, submerged rollers, plus a reliable microprocessor control system and it's easy to see why the processor is the machine for the 90's.

Features:

SEALED TANK CONCEPT - Most roller transports do not provide a cover for their chemical tanks. Because modern photo chemistry often operates at high temperatures, a high evaporation rate causes frequent problems both chemically, by altered solution concentration and physically, by crystallisation deposits. has solved this problem by designing the covered crossover guide, which helps seal the tank from evaporation and oxidation.

OVERSIZED DEVELOPER TANK - and Enhanced Replenishment System for Process Stability

INTEGRAL DEVELOPER TIME READOUT - Monitors a digital shaft encoder to show actual developer time under any conditions. This system serves as a double check to the operator when changing back and forth between two processing modes. It also allows the processor to be finely tuned to perfectly balance all processors within the laboratory.

HIGH EFFICIENCY INFRA-RED DRYER ASSIST - Guarantees excellent drying characteristics. This innovation ensures exceptional surface quality even on tough matte blacks.
