robust, versatile, semi-automatic 8-page CTP
Versatility, quality and consistency in 8-page CTP
Compact and reliable, the Trendsetter® 800 family is based on the world’s
most popular CTP platform. Newly redesigned for even higher produc-
tivity, the Trendsetter 800 II and Trendsetter 800 II Quantum offer semi-
automatic operation, stability, easy maintenance and superior imaging. In
addition to standard thermal plates, they can output processless plates,
thermal film, or double-sided thermal Dupont® Dylux® and Spectrum
thermal proofs. A variety of speeds are available, up to 34 plates per hour.
ContinuousLoad and Autoloader options are available to increase
throughput and allow the platesetter to run with less manual intervention.
Both models can be equipped with the Spectrum option to add digital
halftone proofing capability. Spectrum proofs ensure that clients see the
identical halftone image structure on the proofs and the plates on press.
Trendsetter 800 II Quantum: SQUAREspot imaging and unmatched process control
The Trendsetter 800 II Quantum CTP device features SQUAREspot® imaging
technology—the foundation for accurate and consistent presswork.
SQUAREspot imaging delivers end-to-end imaging integrity from the original
file through to the press, despite normal plate-imaging variables such as
laser power, plate emulsion sensitivity, and processor variation. The
Trendsetter 800 II Quantum platesetter ensures precise fit and registration,
from plate to plate and machine to machine, with automatic correction for
temperature-related plate expansion and contraction.
Trendsetter 800 II:
affordable Trendsetter value with easy upward migration
The Trendsetter 800 II platesetter offers reliability and productivity in a
scalable configuration. With a Trendsetter 800 II device, you can invest in
the CTP features you need today, and when your business needs grow, you
can upgrade affordably to the Quantum model, for the process control
offered by SQUAREspot imaging.

General Specifications
Technology 830 nm thermal imaging platesetter, semi-automatic, external drum

Load/unload systems Semi automatic Optional ContinuousLoad eliminates loading wait time: two plates can be mounted,
with the second plate loading automatically. Plates automatically unload to unload table and
processor. Optional Autoloader holds 40 to 80 plates (depending on plate thickness) for automatic
loading. Plates automatically unload to unload table and processor.
