KODAK MAGNUS VLF PLATESETTER Plate making that fits your business Fast, automated, high-quality imaging for very large plate formats Featuring KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, MAGNUS Platesetters are some of the fastest fully-automated very-large format (VLF) Platesetters in the market. The MAGNUS VLF Platesetter is available in two sizes. The Q3600 Platesetter can image plates up to 1,600 x 2,083 mm, and the Q2400 Platesetter can image plates up to 1,422 x 1,804 mm. Speed options such as the dual plate loading option allow you to choose the number of plates per hour your device will produce. Multiple automation options Increasing the amount of time your platesetter runs unattended can provide big gains in efficiency and productivity in prepress. ContinuousLoad Semi-automated. While one plate is being imaged, the second plate is placed in standby and loads automatically after the plate on the drum unloads to an online processor. Integrated punch with up to 10 punch heads as part of the engine automation delivers a press-ready plate. Right access is standard; available with optional left access. Multi-Cassette Unit (MCU) Fully automated, letting you operate continuously for longer. Holds up to 300 plates in four cassettes, each with up to 75 plates with slip sheets. The required cassette is automatically selected according to the job definition. Empty cassettes can be reloaded while the platesetter is running. Right access is standard; available with optional left access. Manual Bypass Available with MCU or APL. Increases flexibility and uptime by allowing an operator to bypass automation, loading plates straight into the main engine, to quickly remake a plate or make a set of plates of a size not loaded into the pallet or cassette. Automatic Pallet Loader (APL) Enables easy and efficient bulk loading, providing time and labor savings by removing the extra work required by manual or cassette loading for VLF plate sizes. Simply load between one and six pallets with up to 600 plates each, for a maximum of 3,600 plates online. The APL does the rest, automatically selecting the correct size plate based on the job, removing slip sheets and loading plates with no operator intervention. Right access is standard; available with optional left access. 1-segment 2-segment 3-segment Integrated punch enhances automation The MAGNUS VLF Platesetter features a fully integrated punch option with accurate three-point registration, helping eliminate costly errors. The punch option is available with ContinuousLoad, MCU, or APL automation options, and is fully configurable to match a wide variety of press requirements. The integrated punch automatically corrects for temperature-related plate expansion difference between platesetters for precise registration of plates. Accurate and stable imaging Standard on all MAGNUS VLF Platesetters, KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology automatically compensates for temperature-related plate expansion and contraction for precise, consistent imaging from plate to plate and machine to machine. SQUARESPOT Technology also enables KODAK STACCATO Screening for moiréfree image fidelity, with extraordinary tone and color consistency throughout the press run. Additionally, the dynamic autofocus mechanism provides robustness to process variation on the plate and prevents hot spots. New app for remote monitoring The optional KODAK Mobile CTP Control App lets you monitor your MAGNUS VLF Platesetter remotely with your Android or IOS device. Know instantly if one of your CTP devices needs attention, even if you are out of the room or off site, so you can get back to making plates quickly.
