     MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter

          Fast and highly-automated

FASTEST IMAGINE

The new T-speed option makes the MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter the fastest 8-page CTP devices in the market, with throughput of up to 80 plates per hour. Or you can choose a 28- or 45-pph system and easily upgrade as your business grows. T-speed is supported by all levels of automation, including the newly-updated Multi-Pallet Loader (MPL), which holds up to 3,200 plates in as many as four formats.

PLATEMAKING PERFECTION

The KODAK MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter delivers exceptional productivity and efficiency to meet the needs of all commercial printers, no matter the size. When combined with optional 10-micron KODAK STACCATO Screening, KODAK PRINERGY Workflow and KODAK Digital Plates, MAGNUS Q800 Platesetters deliver photorealistic results you have to see to believe.

ROCK SOLID

Thermal KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology is standard on all MAGNUS Q800 Platesetters, automatically compensating for temperature-related plate expansion and contraction, giving you precise, consistent imaging from plate to plate and from machine to machine.

THE SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

MAGNUS Q800 Platesetters and KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates are a perfect combination. SONORA Plates reduce environmental impact by eliminating the need for plate processing, and they can handle the fast imaging speeds of the MAGNUS Platesetter, so you can get to press quickly while improving the sustainability of your business.
