IGS Ships Six Refurbished Kodak Magnus 800 MCU CTP Systems to China

International Graphic Supplies (IGS), a trusted UK-based prepress and printing equipment supplier, is proud to announce the successful shipment of six fully refurbished Kodak Magnus 800 MCU Computer-to-Plate (CTP) systems to its strategic partner in China, Wisdom Printing Technology.

Driving Growth with an Innovative Business Model

Through a groundbreaking partnership, Wisdom Printing Technology has adopted a forward-thinking model that removes the burden of high upfront investment for printers. Instead, Wisdom provides IGS CTP equipment in exchange for a guaranteed three-year consumables contract. This structure ensures cost predictability, maximum efficiency, and profitability for printers across Asia.

Supplying Proven Kodak CTP Technology

The six Kodak Magnus 800 MCU units were sourced by IGS from the UK market—either from print companies upgrading their existing CtP systems or through equipment liquidation opportunities. Each system undergoes meticulous refurbishment at IGS’s dedicated facility, ensuring as-new performance, reliability, and precision imaging quality.

“By refurbishing and redistributing this world-class Kodak CtP technology through a strong partner like Wisdom, we are extending the life of proven equipment while supporting long-term growth for our global clients,” says Peter Flynn, Managing Director at IGS.

Meeting Global and Domestic Demand

While IGS continues to see strong international demand for refurbished prepress systems, the company also serves a growing UK customer base. Many UK printers are upgrading from older Violet and Polyester CtP systems to modern Thermal CtP technology, which offers improved sustainability and cost savings.

“The transition to Thermal CtP remains a key focus for our UK clients,” Flynn adds. “Thermal delivers better image stability, reduced chemical usage, and lower running costs. Even early adopters of manual thermal systems are now upgrading to fully automated solutions to boost productivity.”

Comprehensive Support and Spare Parts Availability

To ensure maximum uptime, IGS maintains a full inventory of spare parts for major brands including Agfa, Fuji, Heidelberg, Kodak, and Screen. Combined with a team of factory-trained service engineers, IGS guarantees rapid support and long-term reliability for its customers worldwide.

For UK customers, the IGS Comprehensive Breakdown Cover Plan provides total protection for prepress systems. This includes all parts and labour under a single, affordable monthly premium—eliminating the financial risk of unexpected breakdowns and ensuring consistent production uptime.
