Axis Printing, a B1 multi-colour sheet-fed printer based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire (UK) has chosen Fujifilm's Brillia HD Pro-T processless plate as its printing plate of choice.
Printer Uses Processless Plates Ensures Quality
Peach Media, a full service design, marketing, print and logistics agency in Chesterfield (UK) has opted to use the Fuji Brillia HD Pro-T processless plate.
The new investment in processless CTP allows the company to offer in-house repro-facilities and reduce chemical waste, said Fujifilm.
Joy Rice, managing director of Target Print, said: "We have always used Fuji plates, so when we decided to switch to processless plates Fuji was the obvious choice.
Environmental issues are very important to us and by choosing Fuji's fully processless plates we have already seen a huge reduction in our overall chemical waste.
Using the Fuji Brillia HD Pro-T plates has been hassle free." She added: "Print quality is just the same with Pro-T as with processed plates and there's no effect on run length, drying time or finishing.
We don't have to clean up on press any more frequently than before, either.
Fuji has always provided us with high quality products and a good customer service and the conversion to Pro-T has been no exception." Target Print was established in 1994 and provides a full range of print services with in-house design, print and finishing to customers such as Johnson and Johnson, Boots, Leeds Metropolitan University and Past Times.
The company began as a one-man band in a garage.
Since then it has developed in to a million pound company with 11 employees and new factory premises.
The company said it prides itself on its competitive pricing, fast turn-around and customer service and it has several long-term relationships with customers, whilst still having its first customer for whom it printed for 12 years ago.
Brillia HD Pro-T is a true processless plate in that it needs no chemistry or gumming and can be imaged using the same power as Fuji's existing thermal processed plate at 120mJ per square centimetre, resulting in the same production speeds, said Fujifilm.
Said to be compatible with most thermal (830nm) plate setters and approved for one per cent - 99 per cent at 200 lines per inch (lpi) conventional, 300lpi hybrid and FM screening, Brillia HD PRO-T is a non-ablative plate that carries a latent image with distinct contrast, allowing visual inspection after imaging.
