General specifications
Technology 830 nm thermal imaging platesetter, semi-automatic, external drum
Automation options
  • ContinuousLoad (standard): Semiautomated; as one plate is imaged, another is placed on standby for automatic loading as soon as the drum unloads.
  • Single-cassette unit (SCU) option: Fully automated; holds up to 100 plates of the same size and thickness with slip sheets. Standard: right access; available with optional left access.
  • Multi-cassette unit (MCU) option: Fully automated; holds up to 500 plates in 5 cassettes, each containing up to 100 plates of the same size and thickness with slip sheets. The required cassette is automatically selected according to the job definition. Empty cassettes can be reloaded while the platesetter is running. Standard: right access; available with optional left access.
  • Automatic Pallet Loader (APL): Holds one pallet of up to 600 plates of the same size and thickness with slip sheets. Standard cassette tray for up to 100 plates enables a secondary plate size online that is different from the pallet plate size. Option to bypass the automatic plate loader by inserting plate directly into the platesetter from the loading conveyor. Standard: right access; available with optional left access. (Consult your KODAK Plates representative for a current list of plates qualified for the APL.)
Integrated punch
  • Up to 10 customized punch heads. Select from a list of punches qualified for MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter.
  • Optional automatic punching is operated according to press profile selected from the KODAK Workflow.
  • Punch is available on the front edge of the plate only.
Performance specifications

  • Standard: F speed = 28 plates per hour
  • Optional: X speed = 45 plates per hour
  • Optional: Z speed = 62 plates per hour
Repeatability ± 5 microns between two consecutive exposures on the same plate left on the drum
Accuracy ± 20 microns between 2 plates imaged on the same MAGNUS Platesetter, at largest plate size
