Graham Leeson, marketing manager at Fujifilm Graphics Systems UK, said with more than 150 printers using the plate in the UK, many have cited environmental benefits such as reduced water and energy as some of the main reasons behind the switch to Pro-T.
Leeson added that with more print buyers than ever aware of the importance of their environmental credentials, the logo enables customers to identify the firms that are using greener processes to produce their plates.
In a recent Lifecycle Assessment (LCA), the Pro-T plate was found to produce 18g of CO2 per sqm of press-ready plate compared to 246g for a processed plate.
