Fujifilm and alfa CTP: plate mates

The Graphic Systems Division of Fujifilm is teaming up with alfa CTP Systems Inc. for the production of environmentally progressive newspaper printing plates.

Fujifilm will combine its Superia Ecomaxx-T, a no-process thermal plate with alfa CTP’s Accelero thermal Computer to Plate machines. The union eliminates the need for plate processors and with them, the cost of ownership, operation and maintenance. It also means no chemistry to handle or dispose.

Hands-on demonstrations of an Accelero plate setter are being held at Fujifilm’s Chicago Technology Centre and sample plates will be made available to customers within the newspaper industry.
