New CTP And Workflow Help Win 50% Business Boost
Galloways, a commercial and packaging printer based in Poynton, Cheshire (UK) has seen its commercial work increase by 50 per cent since installing a complete Fujifilm violet CTP and workflow system.
However, its Bristol site had trialled Fujifilm's non-bake Brillia LH-PIE plates and achieved run lengths of up to 120,000 sheets with great success, said Fujifilm.
Richard Swatridge, general manager of CPC Bristol, commented: "In the past we've always used bakeable plates and have never considered switching.
Since using the Brillia LH-PIE plates, our Bristol site has made considerable savings - environmentally, because it no longer has to bake plates, and economically in terms of quicker plate production time which has led to a faster turnaround of jobs.
Using Brillia LH-PIE plates, we can still achieve run lengths of up to 120,000, making substantial savings across the business and increasing turn-around times for customers, without compromising on the quality of print we are producing.
We also no longer have to keep an oven on.
It made economic sense to switch." Produced at Fujifilm's plate production facility at Tilburg in The Netherlands, Brillia LH-PIE runs on Fujifilm's B1 Luxel T-9000 and B2 Luxel T-6000 thermal CTP engines as well as being accredited by all major thermal platesetter vendors.
Brillia LH-PIE is a non-bake positive thermal plate, which does not require pre-heating or post-baking.
It is suitable for UV printing without baking and has a run length of at least 200,000 impressions conventionally and 100,000 when used in a UV environment.
