CTP--Still Testing the Waters

Fujifilm's most promising thermal technology for expansion into the short-run web and commercial sheetfed market, however, is the Brillia LH-PI, which requires neither prebaking nor postbaking to achieve its pressroom potential of 300,000 impressions—a tremendous benefit to commercial printers that are unaccustomed to having baking ovens in their prepress environment. The LH-PI only requires a conventional-size processor, so a small footprint develops, rinses and applies finishing gum to make the plate press-ready.
