Chemistry-free Thermal CtP Plate - A Breakthrough in CtP
Agfa's :Azura is the only plate system on the market that is completely chemistry-free. It uses ThermoFuse technology to physically bond images to the plate without any chemical processing. The result is highly stable and predictable thermal imaging, without any compromises on press. :Azura provides a simple alternative to traditional plates. This built-in simplicity gives :Azura users an inherently wide working-latitude with fewer variables and higher reliability than other forms of CtP. :Azura is the recommended technology for printers who require the ultimate in predictable, stress-free, CtP technology. Because it requires no chemical processing, it reduces waste and eliminates prepress steps--helping you create a more streamlined workflow.
User Profile
:Azura is a good option for low/medium volume thermal CtP users. It is available in sizes from 2-up (230-850mm) to 8-up (300-1100mm):Azura can hold up to 2-98 % screen tints at 200 LPI, and delivers runs of up to 100K, depending on press conditions. |
