The launch comes a week after Fuji announced its decision to drop the industry-accepted 'chemistry-free' tag from its Pro-V, Pro-VN and LH-PJE plates, as well as its FLH-Z 'ZAC' processor.
Fuji said the decision to switch to a 'low-chemistry' classification was based on the fact that the 'chemistry-free' tag was misleading in the majority of cases.
The pre-press manufacturer claimed that nearly all so-called chemistry-free plates require some sort of chemistry in order to process the plates.
The launch of the Brillia HD Pro-V is in line with Fuji's long-term strategy of offering choice, as the Brillia HD range now comprises both thermal and violet versions, with processed, low-chemistry and processless derivatives.
