Fujifilm PS-Plate System
Wednesday 29. October 2008 - Fujifilms presensitized offset plates lead the world in quality and batch-to-batch consistency, while providing users with optimum performance for every printing need.
All of the plates in the PS-Plate System are made applying Fujifilms proprietary MG-MultiGrain technology, a complex grain structure consisting of primary grains, honeycomb grains and micropores, to an aluminum base. The results are outstanding printing efficiency, rich tone reproduction, a long press life and simple platemaking.
Additionally, Fujiflms PS-Plates use environmentally safe aqueous chemicals and are manufactured at Fujifilms state-of-the-art facility in Greenwood, S.C. And, because this facility is ISO 9000 certified, customers can expect consistency from product- to-product, box-to-box and batch-to-batch.
