KPG waterless plate in offing

Kodak Polychrome Graphics will launch a waterless CTP plate at Graph Expo in October.

Scorpion X54 will be available in two versions, one for manual loading platesetters and the Scorpion X54 Plus, which has a scratch protecting plastic coating for use in automatic platesetters. A date for UK availability has yet to be decided.

Although the firm sees waterless as important, it believes Scorpion is only ever going to be a niche product.
