No plate processor to operate, maintain, or repair. No chemistry to buy, handle, or dispose of. No water to rinse plates, mix chemistry, dilute gum, or clean equipment. No energy consumed by thermal processing. For a printer making 50,000 m\u00b2 of plates annually, this means 0 litres of chemistry, 0 kWh of processing energy, and 0 litres of water \u2014 versus 500,000\u2013800,000 litres of water, 38,000\u201350,000 kWh, and 4,000\u201310,000 litres of chemistry with conventional processed plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>XTRA Tough \u2014 Enhanced Scratch and Scuff Resistance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A tougher substrate and more durable coating make Sonora XTRA Plates robust enough for virtually any print environment. Enhanced scratch and scuff resistance means plates survive handling, transport, and pressroom conditions without degradation \u2014 keeping presses running without slowdowns caused by plate damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>XTRA Clear \u2014 3\u00d7 Stronger Contrast Than Sonora X<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sonora XTRA Plates deliver image contrast three times stronger than Sonora X \u2014 making it easy to see even the smallest image details on the plate before mounting. Improved readability with vision systems and sorting equipment means operations can confidently add automation to their plateroom workflow, knowing XTRA&#8217;s image clarity is sufficient for machine-based quality checks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>XTRA Quick \u2014 Up to 80 Plates\/Hour with Kodak Magnus Q800<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sonora XTRA Plates are fast enough for the fastest platesetters \u2014 enabling operations to get more out of their existing CTP investment, or to upgrade CTP and increase throughput. With the T-speed Kodak Magnus Q800 Platesetter, up to 80 Sonora XTRA Plates can be imaged per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>XTRA Long Runs \u2014 Meets Needs of Unbaked Processed Plate Users<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sonora XTRA Plates deliver run lengths sufficient for most printers currently using unbaked processed plates: up to 400,000 impressions on heatset\/coldset web presses, 250,000 on sheetfed presses, and 100,000 for offset packaging (non-UV) and UV-ink applications. No compromise on run length in exchange for eliminating processing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Easy Transition \u2014 No New Equipment, No Workflow Changes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Upgrading to Sonora XTRA Plates requires no new CTP equipment, no processor setup, and no workflow changes. The same Kodak Trendsetter, Magnus, or Achieve Platesetter you use today images Sonora XTRA Plates directly. Compatible with platesetters from all major suppliers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Average Annual Prepress Resource Usage \u2014 Sonora XTRA vs. Processed Plates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For a printer making 50,000 m\u00b2 of plates annually \u2014 the resource consumption difference between Sonora XTRA and conventionally processed plates is stark:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div class=\"overview-tagline\">No Processor | No Chemistry | No Water | No Baking | Up to 400,000 Impressions | See the Difference.<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-title\">OVERVIEW<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-description\">Kodak Sonora XTRA Process Free Plates are the best process free plates Kodak has ever made \u2014 and now with XTRA benefits. Designed for the most demanding print environments, Sonora XTRA combines the long-run capability of conventional processed plates (up to 400,000 impressions on web presses), the clarity of 3\u00d7 stronger image contrast versus Sonora X, and the toughness to handle just about any print environment \u2014 without a plate processor, without chemistry, without water, and without baking. Upgrading to Sonora XTRA requires no new CTP equipment, no workflow changes, and no processor setup \u2014 just mount the plates and go.<\/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-Sonora-XP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Datasheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17656,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[64,132],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6384","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-consumables","7":"product_cat-plates","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"virtual","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6384","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\/17656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6384"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6384"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
