The Tanto 5120 imagesetter, an eight-page imagesetter from Screen (USA), images on 120 channels as the drum spins at 270 or 420 rpm. Tanto produces in spiral mode 1,852 square inches per minute at 1,200 dpi, and 926 square inches per minute at 2,400 dpi. It images up to 44.1˝ in the primary scanning direction, with maximum media size of 33x45˝ and minimum media size of 24x32.7˝. Tanto outputs film and plates. Flexible plates are sent to the take-up cassette for processing.
