The PlateRite can produce up to 106 broadsheet plates or 49 panorama plates an hour, features four image settings and output resolutions up to 1,270dpi.
The kit also offers support for Screen's Spekta AM/FM screening, which the firm claims will produce extraordinary quality with ordinary screen rulings.
The 2000+ model features a 64-channel laser diode-imaging head to produce plates from 460x290mm to 980x685mm.
The platesetter is supported by the Trueflow Rite News automated workflow system, which is specifically designed for newspaper production.
Rob Hageman, product manager at Screen, said the platesetter would suit regional newspapers that want "a combination of high speed, consistency and quality".
