Agfa Graphics Launches New :Azura V Chemistry-Free Plates #Ipex

MORTSEL, BELGIUM—05/03/2010—Agfa Graphics today announced the launch of the :Azura V chemistry-free plate for violet CtP systems. The new violet photopolymer plate works with gum, similar to Agfa's industry-leading, ThermoFuse-based :Azura plates for thermal systems.

This new, chemistry-free plate works with all mainstream violet CtP units currently in use at commercial print sites across the world and emitting at least 30 mW. The new :Azura V can run in virtually all existing photopolymer processors on the market, but no traditional photopolymer developer is required. The plates are ideal for low- to mid-size commercial printers and provide run lengths up to 100,000.
