Un système d'exposition [des plaques thermiques] novateur breveté transmet un faisceau laser à travers une membrane GLV [Grating Light Valve] où il est soigneusement contrôlé et calibré. Les micro-obturateurs de la membrane GLV modulent l'énergie laser afin de produire une série de faisceaux permettant une inscription exceptionnellement rapide à une vitesse de rotation du tambour relativement basse [...] d'où une simplification des opérations et la garantie d'une fiabilité à long terme.
