“The LH-NN2 plate is an addition to our extensive line of newspaper plates and is designed for publishers who need a thermal plate compatible with the 830nm infrared lasers that many operations are using,” explains Jim Crawford, Fujifilm’s group manager for consumables.
The LH-NN2 plate has a run length of 300,000 impressions and is approved for 1-99% at 100 lpi, yielding high-quality tone reproduction and dot integrity and giving users the level of quality and reliability for which Fujifilm is known.
Like other plates in Fujifilm’s Brillia series, the LH-NN2 plate employs a double-coated photosensitive layer, which delivers enhanced durability compared to other CTP plates.
