Simple, reliable plate production

Advantage X's reliable violet-laser diode has a 10-year lifespan, and its simple internal design require less maintenance, which helps keep costs and downtime to a minimum. Due to the FleX registration system, the :Advantage X can be configured for multiple plate sizes without requiring customization, and can conveniently use different plates on a day-to-day basis. FleX stands for Format Limitation Eliminator and refers to the flexibility of the table registration system.
