Ipex Preview - Environment - Star Product: Kodak Trillian SP thermal plates

Kodak claims that its new product will be the "next revolution in high-performance no-pre-heat printing plate technology".

The Trillian SP plates will be running live on the Kodak stand through a Magnus 800Z Quantum Platesetter with automatic pallet holder. According to Kodak, the plates lower the total cost of ownership and provide environmental benefits – they use less chemistry and eliminate the use of pre-heat and post-bake ovens.

Additionally, the plates provide a wide latitude for increased stability, less variation, plus higher processing speeds. Trillian SP is targeted at commercial printers for both sheetfed and web and are widely compatible with existing CTP and processing equipment. The plate joins the redesigned Kodak Trendsetter platesetters that were launched in January.
