This consistency reduces plate remakes, minimizes press make-ready time, and enables stable color reproduction across long press runs \u2014 directly reducing production costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>W-Speed \u2014 Up to 75 pph<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The W-speed option (available with Autoloader, SCU, and MCU configurations) delivers up to 75 plates per hour for Q400 (838 \u00d7 724 mm plates) and up to 66 pph for Q800 (838 \u00d7 1,030 mm plates). Three speed options \u2014 F, X, and W \u2014 allow throughput to be matched precisely to production requirements. W-speed is fully compatible with Kodak Sonora Process Free Plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>MCU \u2014 480-Plate Fully Automated Production<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Multi-Cassette Unit (MCU) is the most advanced automation option \u2014 holding up to 480 plates in 4 cassettes (up to 120 plates each), enabling up to 4 different plate sizes online simultaneously. The required cassette is automatically selected by job definition. The MCU is up to 65% smaller than comparable MCU solutions, reducing floor space requirements significantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>770W Imaging Power \u2014 Up to 90% Energy Saving<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A new cooling system reduces power consumption during imaging to just 770 watts \u2014 a saving of up to 30% vs. previous models and up to 90% compared to some competitor CTP devices. Full compatibility with Sonora Process Free Plates eliminates plate processing chemistry and its associated environmental and waste disposal costs entirely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Inline Punch Option \u2014 Press-Ready Plates Automatically<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>An optional inline punch system with up to 10 customized punch heads delivers press-ready plates directly from the platesetter \u2014 with automatic punch system adjustment for plate centering. Available with Auto Unload, Autoloader, SCU, and MCU configurations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mobile CTP Control App + JDF\/JMF Connectivity<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The optional Kodak Mobile CTP Control App (Android and iOS) provides real-time remote monitoring of every Trendsetter device. JDF\/JMF Connectivity delivers job and device status within the Print Console software \u2014 enabling MIS-integrated, fully automated prepress production workflows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div class=\"overview-tagline\">Thermal CTP Platesetter | SquareSpot Imaging | Up to 75 pph | MCU 480-Plate Automation | Sonora Compatible<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-title\">OVERVIEW<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-description\">The Kodak Trendsetter Q400\/Q800 is Kodak&#8217;s flagship thermal CTP platesetter for commercial and publication printers \u2014 combining 20+ years of trusted SquareSpot imaging technology with significant new advances in automation, speed, and energy efficiency. With the W-speed option delivering up to 75 plates per hour, a Multi-Cassette Unit (MCU) holding up to 480 plates across 4 cassettes, power consumption reduced to 770 watts during imaging, and full compatibility with Kodak Sonora Process Free Plates, the Trendsetter Q400\/Q800 is engineered for printers who need the highest throughput, the lowest environmental footprint, and the deepest automation of any CTP device in its class.<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-actions\"><button class=\"btn_c btn-primary_c getaquotelink\">Get a Quote<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn_c btn-secondary_c\" href=\"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Kodak-Trendsetter-Q400-Q800-Platesetters.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Datasheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16383,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[45],"product_cat":[116,44],"product_tag":[77],"class_list":{"0":"post-5639","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-kodak","7":"product_cat-ctp-machines","8":"product_cat-printers","9":"product_tag-ctp","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"virtual","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5639"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5639"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
