Products classified under HTS 9006.59.20.00
Kodak Trendsetter Platesetter Camera
This is a specialized photographic camera integrated into computer-to-plate (CTP) systems, used to expose images directly onto printing plates for offset lithography. It falls under HTS 9006.59.20.00 because it is expressly designed for preparing printing plates, distinguishing it from general-purpose photographic cameras. The laser-based imaging head captures and projects digital files onto plates with high precision.
Creo PlateRite 8600 Thermal Platesetter Camera
A high-resolution thermal imaging camera module for the PlateRite series, used to laser-expose images onto thermal printing plates in commercial printing workflows. Classified under HTS 9006.59.20.00 as it meets the specific criterion for cameras designed for printing plate or cylinder preparation. It enables direct digital imaging without intermediate films.
Screen PlateRite 4000E CTP Camera Head
The optical camera head from Screen's PlateRite 4000E external drum platesetter, which records high-quality images onto printing plates using UV laser diodes. It qualifies for HTS 9006.59.20.00 due to its dedicated role in preparing offset printing plates or cylinders. This component ensures dot reproducibility for sharp print reproduction.
Heidelberg Suprasetter Camera Module
Internal thermal or violet laser camera module for Heidelberg Suprasetter CTP systems, exposing digital images directly to printing plates for newspaper and packaging printing. Falls under HTS 9006.59.20.00 as a camera specifically for printing plate preparation, not general photography. Supports resolutions up to 10,000 dpi.
Fujifilm Luxel V6 Platesetter Imaging Camera
Violet laser imaging camera in Fujifilm's Luxel V6 platesetter, used for high-volume plate exposure in offset printing plants. Classified in HTS 9006.59.20.00 for its specific application in preparing printing plates via direct laser imaging. Delivers plate throughput of 45 plates per hour.
Agfa Accuset Camera Unit
The core imaging camera unit in Agfa's AccuSet platesetter series for computer-to-conventional plate workflows. It qualifies under HTS 9006.59.20.00 as dedicated to exposing images on printing cylinders and plates. Features multi-laser diode array for consistent imaging.
Konica Minolta LP-9000 CTP Camera Head
Laser imaging camera head for Konica Minolta's LP-9000 series platesetters, optimized for violet chemistry plates in sheetfed printing. HTS 9006.59.20.00 applies due to its purpose-built design for printing plate preparation. Achieves 2400 dpi imaging quality.
Xerox Nuvera FreeFlow Platesetter Camera
Digital imaging camera in Xerox Nuvera production systems for direct-to-plate digital printing preparation. Falls under HTS 9006.59.20.00 for cameras used specifically in printing plate or cylinder creation processes. Supports variable data printing applications.
