[nshadab]

Some one telling me, that Kodak 800 Platesetter 8up, Can't do 4up plating?

Is that true?

Derek & Kevin would you mind throwing some light on that?


Many Thanks, Shadab'

Hi Shadab -

The Magnus 800 can do 4-page plates too. It can even do 2-page plates. Here are the minimum/maximum plate sizes:

Maximum plate size:
around drum x along drum
950 x 1,162 mm (37.4 x 45.7 in)

Minimum plate size:
around drum x along drum 330 x 305 mm (13 x 12 in)


There may be some additional limitations if you're using an autoloader, but it can still auto-load 4-page plates.
