The double-coated photosensitive layer also provides outstanding resistance to scratches, facilitating ease of handling in the pressroom.
The enhanced MultiGrain surface structure of Brillia LH-NN2 makes it easier to run on press with optimized ink and water balance. Wide processing latitude enables improved developing efficiency for a thermal plate that really delivers exceptional on press results.
