DIGITAL PLATES & PLATESETTERS -- Two Steps Forward

The Fujifilm Brillia LP-NV violet-sensitive, photopolymer plate will be commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2002, says Jim Crawford, group manager of output media for the Graphic Systems division of Fuji Photo Film U.S.A. in Itasca, IL. "Initially, LP-NV will primarily support our Saber violet platesetter model, but qualifications will also be performed for other vendors' violet platesetters."
