Prepress
First UK PRO-V install at Printing & Packaging Co Ltd
Friday 21. August 2009 - FUJIFILM Graphic Systems today announces the first UK installation of its low-chemistry plate, Brillia HD PRO-V, at Printing & Packaging Co Ltd in Hinckley.
Pali Sall, works director at Printing & Packaging Co Ltd, comments: “We were really interested in the PRO-V system when we first heard about it and, after trials here in Hinckley, the excellent quality of the plate spoke for itself. With PRO-V we are using almost 60% less chemistry than before so the savings to be made in terms of chemistry usage and chemistry spend, not to mention the positive environmental implications of the plate, are very impressive indeed. Also, the removal of chemical replenishment will provide even more cost savings for us.
“Theres less maintenance of the finishing unit and it produces much less waste than our previous plate so not only are we saving money but were reducing downtime as well. Were delighted with the performance of the plate and with the excellent standard of service and support weve received from Fuji since day one.”
Brillia HD PRO-V is the latest Fujifilm plate designed to simplify the pre-press process, as it uses less chemistry, requires less maintenance of the finishing unit and produces less waste than its processed alternatives. In addition, the replenisher normally required to control the pH or conductivity of the bath is no longer needed. Thanks to Fujifilms high sensitivity polymerisation technology, Brillia HD PRO-V also brings unmatched quality, consistency and productivity to plate production, being capable of 1-99% resolutions (with a Fujifilm “HD capable” platesetter), and able to print FM screens.
