Key Features
Productivity
- Industry-leading throughput of up to 62 plates per hour
- Full range of automation for faster plate making: Semi-automatic plate loading and unloading, Single-Cassette Unit (SCU), Multi-Cassette Unit (MCU), or Automatic Pallet Loader (APL)
- Inline punch
Long Unattended Operation
- Only Automatic Pallet Loader for 8-page CTP in the industry; automated loading of an entire pallet of up to 600 plates with slip sheets reduces plate handling costs and errors and increases unattended operation in prepress.
Ease of Use
- Connectivity to KODAK Workflow Systems, including KODAK PRINERGY Workflow
- Multi-language option with multiple operating languages
- Autorecovery mechanism that fixes many errors with no operator intervention
Excellent Image Quality
- MAGNUS Q800 Platesetters enable 450 lpi screening. Optional 20- or 10-micron KODAK STACCATO Screening creates photorealistic images.
- 2400/1200 dpi or 2540/1270 dpi resolution
Stability
- KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology is standard on every MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter, providing accurate, stable, repeatable imaging for fewer plate remakes, fewer adjustments in prepress, and exceptional print quality.
Supports Your Sustainability Goals
- With the APL, printers can reduce plate packaging cardboard waste by 89% and completely eliminate wrapping paper waste from plate cartons.
- Power saving feature for idle status reduces energy use
- Output of KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates saves money and space, eliminating chemistry and plate processor costs and waste and reducing water usage.
