    supra lasers

    The ( re ) sell value of a SupraSetter lays in the lasers. I've serviced Suse's with 300 k m2 on their counter, without ever having an issue on their laser. It is also depending on our relationship with your distributor: I've replaced lasers, ant the shop owner would pay them in time with a...

    Looking for Metal CTP

    For this sort of work the SupraSetter A type was develloped. Start with the basic model, if business grows you still can go for the automation. ( It is an option that can be installed afterwards ) The same story on the dual cassette system...

    I don't have any benefits by Kodak ( or Fuji, or anything else :-) )...maybe we should more go into the terms we 're using...Your right on the fact that there is no " development ", the plate is " washed, processed, cleaned " on the press by means of ink and fountian solution -> non flashed/ non...

    ZAC processors

    Like mentioned above..the ZAC processor is a colaboration between Fuji and Glunz& Jensen...Kodak does have ( sell's ) kit's to rebuild ZAC's to Kodak plates...
