Kodak says Magnus CTP offers green benefits

Kodak is targeting commercial and offset packaging printers with a new platesetter that it said combines ease of use with low environmental impact.

The Magnus 400 III platesetter is a four-up CTP for printers and publishers looking to improve productivity, quality and flexibility.

Kuty Paperny, Kodak global product management director, said: "Fast imaging speeds and a variety of automation options make this ideal for a growing business.

"By using Kodak thermal direct non-process plates, pre-press professionals can further reduce their environmental impact."

The kit supports up to seven language options, has an auto-recovery system and a gigabit ethernet communication.

Meanwhile, a new software-based feature, the Kodak Intelligent Prepress Manager, allows remote monitoring of the plate
line for higher productivity and efficiency.
