Fuji to launch chemistry-free plate for violet processing at Drupa

Fujifilm will use Drupa to introduce a violet version of its successful Pro-T chemistry-free plate range.

The Brillia HD Pro-V, which is suitable for both commercial and newspaper printing, will be available to order at the show in May.

The Brillia High Definition range now includes processed, chemistry-free and processless alternatives for both thermal and violet platemaking. All plates are rated at 1-99% resolution, 200lpi and capable of printing 20μm FM.

The Pro-V plate is based on a new "high-sensitivity polymerisation" technology that offers printers better environmental processing, a smaller space footprint and less waste production.

The sensitivity, productivity and ink/water balance is the same as the current conventional violet CTP plate, Brillia LP-NV.
