DIGITAL PLATESETTERS -- The Write One

* The small- to mid-size commercial printing segment does not require long run lengths. Violet is the perfect fit since most violet plates can run up to 350,000 impressions without baking or the need for a rinse/gum unit.

Peter Vanderlaan, product development manager, electronic imaging hardware, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A.:
Fuji offers both visible light and thermal technology in our plate and platesetter lines because each product offers its own unique features (i.e., automation, run length, plate handling environment, pricing, etc.). Visible light (which includes violet) offers high productivity and short- to medium-run length support at a very attractive price. Thermal offers yellow/room light plate handling and long run lengths.
