Automation makes you more flexible and productive, as well as cutting plate making time and reducing errors caused by manual plate handling. Panorama and dual broadsheet plate rotation available.

PROVEN THERMAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

Thermal platesetters are known for delivering incredible accuracy and stability. TRENDSETTER Platesetters take that even further: with KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, available only on KODAK Platesetters, you get unmatched stability, reliability, and accuracy, resulting in fewer plate remakes, less time adjusting for variables, and excellent print quality.
Thermal technology also enables true process free plate making. KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates help you reduce environmental impact. .
