ECRM Imaging Systems will exhibit violet CTP imaging technology at the Graphics of the Americas tradeshow from February 3-5, at the Miami Beach Convention Centre (USA).
Derek Sizer, ECRM's vice president for eastern hemisphere business, commented: "We previously released a statement supporting the benefits and our support of chemistry-free plates in 2006.
Since then, we have anxiously awaited the release of viable plate products and we are very proud to have been chosen by Agfa to provide customers with a technology demonstration of the new Azura V plate." He continued: "Customers will be able to see the Agfa Azura V plate being imaged on our stand - C56 in hall nine - and then pass through a clean-out unit.
With this advance in violet plate technology, very soon customers will be getting all the advantages of chem-free technology without having to sacrifice throughput speed." And Torben Rysgaard, the vice president of ECRM's polyester CTP division, added: "We're also making strides in polyester CTP to minimise use and, therefore, waste of chemicals.
With the introduction of the DPX 4 Eco, printers can benefit from savings incurred from less chemical use in the development of polyester plates and the additional saving of costs associated with diminished waste.
The reduction in waste carries the additional ecological benefits.".
