Led by Abhay Pidurkar, Dnyanai CTP was established in 2013 with a vision to deliver quality and reliability. He began his journey with a thermal CTP machine at Sadashiv Peth, Pune. His commitment to excellence quickly earned him a reputation in the market, leading to an upgrade to an Eastman Kodak Company CTP system in 2014. 

Today, he operates two Kodak CTP machines.

The Kodak Trendsetter Q800 W-Speed produces up to 66 plates per hour (770x1030) and 125 plates per hour (12x18), significantly enhancing production capacity. 

Equipped with Kodak’s proprietary Squarespot technology, the platesetter ensures exceptional accuracy, minimising remakes and reducing time spent on adjustments. This translates to superior print quality and cost savings, helping Dnyanai CTP consistently deliver outstanding results to its customers.

“In a competitive market like ours, retaining customers is everything. We needed a reliable solution and a dependable service partner, and Insight has been that for us. Our long-standing relationship with them, along with the support and expertise of Raja Balvinder Singh Kochhar, national product head for Kodak, made the decision easy,” Pidurkar said.

He added, “As the first CTP bureau to install this press, we’ve reaffirmed our commitment to quality, consistency, and timely delivery—cornerstones of our business. We needed equipment that could deliver high speed, exceptional plate quality, and consistency. When I attended Drupa to explore advanced technologies, Kodak’s Trendsetter Q800 W-Speed stood out immediately. It was clear that this was the perfect investment to meet our goals."

The Kodak Trendsetter platesetter sets a new standard in sustainability and efficiency. Its innovative cooling system reduces power consumption to just 770 watts during imaging—cutting energy use by up to 30% compared to earlier models and up to 90% versus some competitor CTP devices.

Designed with a compact footprint, the platesetter minimises shipping waste and costs while requiring less space for installation. Additionally, its MCU is up to 65% smaller than conventional MCU solutions, further emphasizing its eco-friendly design. These features make the Kodak TRENDSETTER one of the most sustainable and efficient CTP solutions on the market today.

“At Insight, we’re committed to helping the print industry move toward more sustainable solutions, and Kodak has been our trusted partner on this journey for over 30 years,” Ajay Aggarwal, MD & CEO of Insight Print Communications. “The pre-press market is shifting towards faster and more eco-friendly solutions, and Kodak is the perfect partner for this. With over 26,000 Trendsetter installations worldwide, it’s clear just how reliable and innovative Kodak’s technology is.”

The popular Kodak Trendsetter Q800 Platesetter is designed to meet the challenges of today’s business environment. Based on the same trusted technology that printers have depended on for over 30 years, the Trendsetter platesetter has evolved to help printers adapt and grow.
