The Environmental Impact of a Printing Plate
As in-plants try to decrease the environmental impact of their shops, they often look at their platemaking operations. This report examines some of their options, including chemistry-free and processless plates.
This category is most sensitive to assumptions and plate volumes. The amount of chemistry used depends on the size of the processor; developer needs to be replenished to maintain proper strength; and it must be changed based on volume and time.
In this category we included thermal plates from Agfa (Energy Elite); Fujifilm (Brillia HD LH-PJ/PL); and Kodak (Sword Excel and Electra), and the violet Agfa Lithostar Ultra LAP-V.
