Description

The KODAK MAGNUS 800 Platesetter offers exceptional stability and productivity to meet the needs of both small and large printers. It delivers throughput of up to 60 plates per hour, and supports upgrades to even higher speeds in the future. It offers a full range of automation options, from semiautomatic to full automation, and is easily upgradeable in the field when your production needs increase.
The KODAK MAGNUS 800 QUANTUM Platesetter offers even more. It delivers advanced KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, KODAK STACCATO Screening, and automatic compensation for temperature-related plate expansion for precise, consistent imaging from plate to plate and machine to machine.
The MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter is the newest addition to Kodak’s 8-page CTP family, reaching an incredible 60 plates per hour at the highest image quality available. A new advanced thermal head generates double the laser power of the MAGNUS 800 QUANTUM Platesetter, and provides broader imaging latitude and higher stability, making it reliable and highly cost effective. Combined with full automation, the MAGNUS 800Z QUANTUM Platesetter is the most powerful and productive 8-page device Kodak offers.
