Five Kodak Thermal CTP Platesetters Purchased by Denver Newspaper Agency

Castle-Printech Inc. of DeKalb, IL, added to its investment in Kodak solutions, purchasing a second Kodak Trendsetter News 70 platesetter. The company uses the Kodak devices to print a number of weekly newspapers, along with a number of publication inserts.

Kodak offers proven end to end solutions tailored specifically for newspapers, including thermal CTP platesetters, workflow, digital plates and screening technologies, all supported by around the clock service offerings. The Trendsetter News thermal CTP device comes in five models, ranging in speed from 60 to more than 240 plates per hour to suit newspaper printing facilities of all sizes. The Trendsetter News platesetter delivers fast, reliable imaging with a standard file format interface for newspaper production systems. It is available with semi automatic or fully automated plate loading and unloading. The machine to machine accuracy of the Kodak SquareSPOT thermal imaging heads, combined with the binary nature of thermal imaging, achieves consistent and repeatable halftone dot structures.
