DIGITAL PLATES — LESS IS MORE

The Brillia HD Pro-V negative-working violet plate made its debut at IPEX 2006, but won’t be available until 2007. The Pro-V requires only a gum rinse step after exposure before the plate goes to press.

Other digital plate offerings from Fujifilm include the positive- working Brillia HD LH-PJ for web or sheetfed, with an enhanced multi-grain structure for strong ink/water balance performance; the Brillia LH-PSE positive thermal plate for the long-run web market; and the Brillia LP-NV negative- working photopolymer plate designed for use with violet platesetters.
