Material
KODAK SONORA ULTRA
The future has a new dimension.Set new standards and position your company as a technological pioneer in printing. With SONORA Ultra, you not only increase your productivity but also benefit from maximum contrast, high light stability, and exceptional robustness throughout the entire printing process. You improve your production reliability, optimize your workflows, and increase your efficiency—because the plate is process-free, ready for immediate use, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
KODAK TRILLIAN SP
Low-chemical and cost-saving.The Kodak Trillian SP consumes up to 70% fewer chemicals than previous printing plate systems, significantly reducing the costs for purchasing, storing, and disposing of processing chemicals. A plate cleaning solution is used that achieves a significantly longer lifespan with a low regeneration rate, thus helping you produce in a more environmentally friendly way and reduce costs.
FUJIFILM SUPERIA ZX
The Superia ZX, the latest addition toFujifilm's processless printing plate portfolio, is particularly distinguished by its easy and fast on-press
processing, extended run lengths, high scratch resistance, and improved visibility
of the image. The concept of
processless printing plates is being redefined with various innovative technologies.
FUJIFILM SUPERIA LH-PLE
High Run Length.The LH-PLE offers excellent run length even without baking. Slightly higher print runs can be easily achieved with additional baking. To meet the high mechanical demands of long print runs, the Superia LH-PLE features a strong base alloy that provides increased resistance to plate scratches. This prevents costly replacement plates and associated pressroom downtime.
ECO3 ENERGY ELITE PRO
For the demanding.With a durability of well over 100,000 impressions, the Energy Elite Pro is the perfect printing plate for more demanding print jobs, such as magazines or catalogs. The printing plate achieves print runs of up to 400,000 copies under more aggressive conditions (e.g., UV and metallic inks), and up to 150,000 copies with maximum productivity, while requiring minimal printing chemistry.
ECO3 AZURA TU
Azura TU was developed for high-volume printing, simplified plate production, and uncompromising quality. This printing plate surpasses all other plates in its class. It is based on ECO3's patented ThermoFuse™ technology, which creates a robust, ink-receptive image and enables print runs of up to 150,000 copies in a single pass.Azura TU covers all format classes of sheetfed offset presses – from B2 to sheet formats 6 and 7 for book and display printing. Furthermore, the plate is suitable for the rapidly growing web-to-print applications produced on large-format VLF sheetfed offset presses.
MITSUBISHI SILVER DIGIPLATE
Cost-effective CtP solution:As the global market leader in silver halide printing plates, Mitsubishi Paper Mills offers consistent quality based on years of experience in the CtP sector. They are ideally suited for operations with low, high, or fast plate requirements and eliminate intermediate steps such as film exposure and manual plate copying.
Excellent printability:
Quality with maximum consistency. Furthermore, these polyester plates are excellently suited for most laser imagesetters and are ideal for use in offset printing.
