MORTSEL, BELGIUM—December 1, 2014—Agfa Graphics has announced the worldwide availability of its new chemistry-free direct-on-press Azura TE plate.

With a direct-on-press workflow, time to press is considerably shorter and waste is drastically reduced.

This entails lower energy consumption and less maintenance, thus resulting in environment-friendly operations as well as cost reductions.
