Direct-on-Press Azura TE Plates from Agfa Graphics Are Launched for Commercial Sheetfed Applications

"In fact a ‘direct-on-press’ plate is ready for use after exposing on the platesetter," said Guy Desmet, head of prepress marketing at Agfa Graphics. "On top, Azura TE shows an outstanding image contrast thanks to our patented Thermochromic Dye technology. That makes visual inspection easy and means that dot measurements or plate detection can be done with standard devices. In addition, Azura TE has an excellent daylight stability, which comes in handy if the plates cannot be mounted on the press immediately."
