TRENDSETTER Q400/Q800 Platesetters
NEW MULTI-CASSETTE UNIT OPTION
The TRENDSETTER Q400/Q800 Platesetter now boasts another new automation option to help you grow your business. With the new Multi-Cassette Unit, up to 480 plates can load and unload automatically, so you can make plates for longer with no manual intervention to slow you down. With the MCU, you can have up to four different plate sizes online for improved efficiency and productivity.
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.
HIGH PERFORMANCE. LOW IMPACT.
TRENDSETTER Platesetters can be an important part of your company's sustainability strategy. Our latest models let you save power in prepress--over both our previous CTP devices and the competition--without sacrificing productivity or uptime. TRENDSETTER Q400/Q800 Platesetters use only 770 watts of power while imaging, up to 85% less than some competitive devices. Pair a TRENDSETTER Platesetter with SONORA Process Free Plates and you're saving energy, water, and chemistry, in prepress, plus reducing waste in the pressroom with accurate and stable plates.
INTEGRATED PUNCH ENHANCES AUTOMATION
TRENDSETTER Q400/Q800 Platesetters feature a fully integrated, in-line punch system option with accurate three-point registration, helping eliminate costly errors by automating the punch process. The punch system option allows for up to 10 customized punch heads once the system is added.
CONTROL ON THE GO
Attend to your CTP devices from wherever you are, using only a mobile phone, with Kodak’s Mobile CTP Control App. With the help of its timely alerts and notifications, you'll soon be monitoring devices, managing job queues and running multiple CTPs – from anywhere.
Available now for newer models of KODAK MAGNUS, ACHIEVE, and TRENDSETTER Platesetters, with support for older models coming soon.
AUTOMATION TO FIT YOUR BUSINESS
With the TRENDSETTER Q400/Q800 Platesetter you can choose from five options for automation. Automation makes you more flexible and productive, as well as cutting platemaking time and reducing errors caused by manual plate handling.
