All the Benefits of Going Process Free
SONORA XTRA Plates deliver ultra-high performance along with all the standard perks of going process free. Eliminate plate processing, and you eliminate the extra equipment, chemicals, water, and energy it requires—not to mention the extra labor. You'll spend and waste less, meet environmental regulations more easily, and demonstrate to eco-conscious customers your shared commitment to sustainability.
Easy Integration and Faster Imaging
SONORA XTRA Plates work with any CTP system, for easy workflow integration that lets you get more out of your existing equipment. But they're designed to keep up with the fastest platesetters, like the KODAK MAGNUS Q800 Platesetter, at up to 84 plates per hour—so if you upgrade your CTP, you can increase your imaging productivity and get jobs to press even faster.
Exceptional Clarity and Durability
Think process-free means compromising on image clarity? Think again. As the highest-contrast process-free plates on the market, SONORA XTRA Plates let you see the smallest details and offer greater readability by automated equipment. Plus, their extra-tough substrate and coating means they hold up in just about any print environment with minimal scratches and scuffs, translating to less downtime.
No Compromises on Run Lengths
Need a robust, high-image-quality plate that delivers extra-long press runs? SONORA XTRA Plates keep up with the demands of most printers currently using unbaked processed plates: up to 400,000 impressions on web-fed presses, 250,000 on sheet-fed presses, and 100,000 for UV ink applications.
Plates that Pay for Themselves
SONORA XTRA Plates cut costs across the entire print workflow. Prepress savings are clear. No more processing equipment and resources to pay for. Even bigger savings come in the pressroom, eliminating the variability and potential defects of processing reduces plate remakes, shortens make-ready times, and improves print consistency—saving time, paper, and money.
