Productivity
Four automation options to reduce plate making time
- Autoloader provides automated plate loading and unloading of up to 40 plates (0.3 mm) without slip sheets
- Auto Unload features semi-automatic plate loading and automatic unloading to plate processor or stacker
- Standard is semi-automatic plate loading and unloading
- Single Cassette Unit provides automated plate loading and unloading of up to 120 plates (0.3 mm) with automated slip sheets removal, automatic plate rotation
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
- TRENDSETTER Q800 Platesetters enable 450 lpi screening. Optional 20- or 10-micron KODAK STACCATO Screening creates photorealistic images.
- 2400 dpi and 1200 dpi resolution
Production Stability
- KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology is standard on every TRENDSETTER Platesetter, providing accurate, stable, repeatable imaging for fewer plate remakes, fewer adjustments in prepress, and exceptional print quality.
Supports Environmental Sustainability
- Output of KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates saves money and space, eliminating chemistry and plate processor costs and waste and reducing water usage.
