DIGITAL PLATES — LESS IS MORE

Heidelberg’s Saphira violet high-resolution plate is designed for the Prosetter line of violet CTP devices. Likewise, Saphira Chemfree and Saphira Thermoplate NA are available for the Suprasetter line of thermal platesetters.

Going forward, Rogers sees subsequent enhancements geared toward enhanced productivity, resolutions to support the latest screening technologies and environmental concerns. “We can also expect these plates to address longer run lengths and baking options, as well as improved support for harsher UV inks and chemistries in the future,” he adds.
