Chemistry-free Violet

Fujifilm is aiming to strengthen both its position in the traditional offset market sector and the digital printing arena. On the offset front, Brillia HD PRO-V chemistry-free violet plates will be demonstrated on its stand and are expected to be commercialized after the show, possibly in July. The multi-grain, photopolymer product is said to be compatible with current platesetters (no performance penalty), have a 1-99 percent resolution at 200 lpi and handle 150,000 to 200,000 impressions. Fujifilm will also be unveiling a new Pressmax line of environmentally friendly pressroom chemistry.
