Kodak Installs Its 15,000th Thermal CTP Device at Printer in China

ROCHESTER, N.Y—Oct. 20, 2011—Wuhan JinGang, the largest commercial printing company in Hubei Province, China, recently installed a Kodak Trendsetter 800 Platesetter, marking a significant milestone for Kodak as it the company’s 15,000th thermal computer-to-plate (CTP) device installation to date.

Kodak was the first company to commercialize thermal CTP in 1995, and has since continued to develop new technologies that make these devices faster, more automated, and more sustainable. Thermal CTP devices enable printers to image press-ready thermal printing plates directly from computer files. Thermal imaging technology provides the stability printers need to produce high-quality printing.
