With the industrial stock languishing, it didn't take a lot of good news to give it a boost. On Wednesday, the company announced that it had finished the installation of its first Kodak Magnus Q4800 Platesetter in Germany. The machine, used for digital offset printing, is 62 feet long and 11.5 feet wide, making it the largest computer-to-plate (CTP) imaging system in the world. The advantage of CTP systems as opposed to the more traditional computer-to-film printers is that the technology takes out the darkroom step, making the process cheaper and faster.
