The Crosfield Automated Page Composition System with Color Retouching Capabilities.

The Magnascan 570 has been designed by Crosfield Electronics to cope with the assembly of materials such as catalogues, holiday brochures, and cartons, which usually demand a large amount of manual attention. Operating in conjunction with the Magnascan 550, the system produces a complete set of separations with all the illustrations and text components planned into their correct locations and ready for copying on to a plate of cylinder. The system can be used independently of to plate or cylinder. The system can be used independently of the input scanner. Therefore, the scanner and Page Composition System can handle different jobs simultaneously. The Crosfield Color Retouching Station was recently introduced. This addition to the Magnascan 570 will allow all electronic color retouching and data manipulation.
