Earlier this year, Imprimerie BBM, in Laval, Quebec, made a significant enhancement in their sustainability position by installing a Kodak Achieve T800 Platesetter, and converting to Kodak Sonora XP process free thermal plates.

The Kodak Achieve T800 is a robust and reliable CTP device that delivers the known stability of Kodak’s thermal imaging technology, in a compact footprint, while consuming up to 70% less power.  By combining that with a switch to Kodak Sonora XP process free thermal plates, Imprimerie BBM also eliminated plate processing, thus eliminating chemicals in the plate making process, while reducing water consumption and energy costs.  Plates go directly from the CTP, to the press, eliminating processing variability, so fewer remakes and higher quality on press.
