Available immediately, the machine comes in two versions, the Magnus 400 and the Magnus 400 Quantum. Both use a larger 680x750mm drum capable of supporting press formats up to 6pp.
The 400 produces up to 21 plates per hour and the 400 Quantum, which uses the Squarespot head for higher linescreens and Staccato FM screening, can produce up to 28 plates per hour.
Pricing for the Magnus 400 is 57,335, while the Magnus 400 Quantum costs 84,846.
Although the Lotem 400 has been discontinued the B1 Lotem 800 is still available and Creo continues to sell the B2 Trendsetter 400 II Quantum.
Creo will reveal further details of the Magnus 400 at the beginning of August when it unveils its plans for Print 05 in Chicago, where the machine will be officially launched this September.
