PLATESETTING SYSTEMS -- Generation Gap in CTP

With Creo now firmly part of the family, Eastman Kodak is introducing the Magnus 400/400 Quantum platform as the next generation of its four-page thermal CTP solution. The brand name was introduced last year with the Magnus VLF line.

The new models actually have a six-up drum (external) size that handles a maximum 26.77x29.5˝ media format and are designed to support chemistry-free and processless plate materials. They can image up to 21 or 28 plates/hour and a 250- or 450-lpi line screen, respectively.
