Kodak has reached the installation of its 20,000th award-winning
KODAK SQUARESPOT Thermal Imaging Head, the industry’s gold standard
in imaging technology. As the developers of thermal
computer-to-plate (CTP) technology, Kodak makes the only CTP
Systems that utilize KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, giving
customers the competitive advantage needed to reach a higher level
of stability, accuracy and reliability within their operation.
SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology has been a successful and
long-lasting part of Kodak’s portfolio, and the print industry, for
almost 20 years. The technology was first introduced as the viable
alternative to visible-light CTP systems and today remains the
first choice for printers looking for superior imaging technology
capable of premium offset print quality. KODAK TRENDSETTER, KODAK
MAGNUS and KODAK GENERATION NEWS Platesetters with SQUARESPOT
Imaging Technology help to reduce chemistry usage, plate waste,
remakes and make-ready times supporting customers’ sustainability
goals.
Edwards Brothers Malloy, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
offers both offset and digital book printing and binding,
delivering more than 60 million high-quality books and journals a
year. With more than 700 employees at facilities across the U.S.
and Europe, Edwards Brothers Malloy has selected the KODAK MAGNUS
VLF Platesetter for its diverse organization in order to increase
stability and accuracy on both short and long runs.
“We’ve benefited firsthand from Kodak’s technology in both our
offset and digital operations. By selecting the MAGNUS VLF
Platesetter with SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, we have been able
to capitalize on our diversity while reducing our operational
complexity,” said Peter Shima, Director of Digital and Prepress
Operations, Edwards Brothers Malloy. “Our business is based on
agility and adaptability, and Kodak helps us keep the quality bar
high, productivity streamlined and our customers happy.”
SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology is adaptable to various KODAK
Platesetters, providing customers with multiple size, imaging and
automation options. Accuracy in imaging is critical for consistent,
repeatable high-quality printing and wide color gamut. SQUARESPOT
Technology delivers 10,000 dpi laser imaging for commercial
printing and 5,000 dpi laser imaging for newspaper printing to
provide the most accurate imaging. Competitive imaging technology
is typically in the 1,600 dpi range.
“The announcement of the 20,000th KODAK SQUARESPOT Thermal
Imaging Head installation further validates this technology in the
industry and places it in the ‘hall of fame’ of print technology,”
said Rich Rindo, Kodak’s General Manager, Worldwide Graphics
Marketing, and Vice President, Graphics, Entertainment &
Commercial Films (GECF). “SQUARESPOT Technology remains one of our
most durable technologies, continuing to add value to customers and
delivering measurable results.”
As a long-time customer of Kodak, the company also owns several
KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Presses and uses KODAK PRINERGY Workflow
software across its facilities.
