Sustainable Platemaking that Pays
KODAK ACHIEVE Platesetters bring cost savings on several fronts. The automation features speed up platemaking and reduce errors from manual handling, saving time, labor, and costly remakes. And their energy-efficient thermal technology requires only 400 watts while imaging—up to 93% less power than some competitor CTPs—for lower resource usage and environmental impact, especially when paired with KODAK SONORA XTRA Process Free Plates.
Quality and Reliability Newspapers Need
All ACHIEVE Platesetters use Kodak's time-tested TH5 Imaging Technology, which produces highly accurate dots for exceptional tonal stability and exposure uniformity—resulting in premium newsprint. Plus, the TH5 thermal head has no moving parts, so it holds up well in nonstop newspaper environments and is simple to service and maintain.
Anywhere, Anytime Access
Stay on top of your platemaking wherever you are: use the KODAK Mobile CTP Control app to monitor and manage your KODAK ACHIEVE NEWS Platesetter—and all other Kodak CTPs—remotely in real time for on-the-job flexibility and operational efficiency. And you'll rest easy knowing your Kodak support team also has remote access, enabling faster issue resolution with less waiting and downtime.
