OYO Liberator XE Features & Benefits
NO Harmful Chemicals, NO Darkroom, NO Processing Equipment, NO Inks or Toners

When purchasing an OYO Liberator imagesetter you eliminate the need for hazardous developing and fixing chemicals used in traditional film imagesetting systems. You also save space by eliminating the need for a darkroom which also cuts down on energy costs because the imagesetter does not require a processor.

OYO helps you to deliver those more demanding jobs efficiently while producing full-size film up to 54 inches wide. That is about 4 times bigger than other conventional products currently on the market. OYO’s thermal imagesetter technology offers clear, compact, environmentally friendly solutions to artwork production, enabling you to eliminate outsourcing of large-format films and bring production control in-house. OYO’s unique, chemistry-free, dry-imaging ThermoImpression® film requires absolutely no fixers, developers, inks or toners while providing UV densities that exceed industry standards.

The new high performance OYO 1200 dpi Liberator XE Wide-Format Thermal Imagesetter enables you to produce superb quality film separations right in your own shop without a darkroom, processor or chemicals. It truely is the ultimate prepress solution for the screen, gravure (engraving), flexo (flexography), textile, POP, sign, banner, corrugated and offset printing markets.

The Liberator XE Series is built using OYO’s latest innovative and proprietary technologies, including: Closed Loop Registration (CLR) control for accurate registration overlay, Multi-Level Pulsing (MLP) for superior dot quality, and Enhanced Nib Management (ENM) to provide smooth, high-quality images every time.

Harlequin Precision Screening
Every RTI Harlequin RIP includes Harlequin Precision Screening (HPS). When placing color separations on top of one another, the angles and frequencies at which those separations are produced should be calculated very accurately to eliminate moiré patterns. To reduce moiré patterning, HPS uses an adaptive screening technique that can adjust each halftone dot so that it is placed within one half pixel of its ideal location.

Separations and Screening
The RIP allows you to control and manage resolutions, line screens (frequency), screen angles and dot shapes.

HDS Lite (Stochastic Screening) Included with OYO Purchase

With the Harlequin Dispersed Screening Lite Option (Stochastic / FM Screening), smaller dots intelligently placed provide improved image detail, cleaner colors, and significant ink savings. HDS creates reproductions with increased sharpness over conventional screening methods and offers complete freedom from both object and cross-screen moiré. It is ideal for reproducing subjects for which object moiré is a problem (such as scenes with fabric, venetian blinds or picket fences) and where detailed reproduction is required.

The main advantages of using HDS Lite are that it produces no moiré, it has better definition than conventional screening, and registration is less critical. HDS Lite also has a visually pleasing screen structure and is generally more printable than other FM screens. Finally, it should be noted that HDS Lite is intended for use with a wide range of printing processes.

Instead of using a fixed shaped dot structure, HDS Lite uses irregular clusters of pixels to form an irregular dot. The distribution of these dots or clusters through the screen is what gives HDS Lite its characteristics.

Frequency Modulated (FM) screening technology differs significantly from conventional halftone screening techniques. Conventional methods place dots in a grid pattern to reproduce a continuous tone image. Shades of tone are simulated by enlarging or reducing the dot size in a particular area of an image. With frequency modulated screening, the dots are dispersed in a less structured manner. Varying shades are created by the irregular frequency, or dispersal, of the screening dots.

Users can fine tune HDS Lite to suit the reproduction process by selecting one of ten dot varieties (Super Fine, Fine, Medium, Coarse, Super Coarse, 2X Super 2X Fine, 2X Fine, 2X Medium, 2X Coarse, and 2X Super Coarse). In general, the higher the quality of the entire printing process the smaller the HDS Lite dot that can be used. Films and plates produced using HDS are reproduced easily using a wide variety of platesetting and printing processes. Exceptional results have been obtained with HDS Lite on newsprint with web press equipment, on high-quality coated papers with commercial sheet-fed presses, and using direct output methods such as digital proofers.

NEW! ~ 5 Levels of Extended Range Coarseness: In addition to the standard HDS Super Coarse, HDS Coarse, HDS Medium, HDS Fine and HDS Super Fine screening (shown below), customers using HDS will now receive five additional coarseness levels. These additional dot selections can be used to adjust the coarseness of a job without having to lower the resolution. The sample image shows Magenta at the standard HDS Super Coarse and the Cyan at HDS Super Coarse Extended Range.
HDS Super Coarse: HDS Super Coarse uses a larger structure to increase printability and the capability to retain highlighted areas of an image. It is suitable for use on mid to low-range imagesetters or platesetters with resolutions between 1000 and 1600 dpi.
HDS Coarse: HDS Coarse makes use of somewhat larger structures to increase printability and is best selected on presses which cannot hold very fine detail such as in high speed web printing.
HDS Medium: HDS Medium offers a slightly larger dot structure in the midtone range. It may be used in intermediate commercial and publications printing, either sheetfed or web.
HDS Fine: HDS Fine produces extremely smooth grain-free results and has the finest structure of any HDS setting. It is intended for use with high quality output devices capable of recording single isolated laser spots on separations.
HDS Super Fine: Developed for use on low resolution output devices which deliver high quality output without compromising speed.


OYO Liberator Film

ThermoImpression™ Film is a specially coated polyester which, instead of being light sensitive like other graphic art films, is heat sensitive. When an OYO imagesetter applies heat to the film, the reactive layer turns black and creates the image. OYO thermal film doesn't require messy toners, dyes, inks or transfers. This is the only consumable needed for the Liberator, TechStyler, TechSetter, and EcoPRO product lines.

OYO Film Features:
• .005” thickness for better handleability
• Lays flat before and after exposure
• Dimensionally stable for accurate registration
• Light safe
