SUPERIA Processless Thermal CTP Plates

Fujifilm’s most advanced printing plate ever, with a combination of technologies that exhibit higher ink receptivity with faster development on press, and a wider tolerance of different press conditions, ink formulations and fount solutions.

Processless – the simplest way to make plates

Processless plate production represents the simplest way to make plates. Once the plate has been imaged in a platesetter, it is mounted directly on the press where the removal of the plate coating has been cleverly integrated into the start-up of the press. There is complete elimination of the processor, associated chemistry, energy required to power the processor, water and waste from plate production.

The biggest breakthrough in on-press performance

Fujifilm processless has been successfully used by many printers around the World for the last five years.

Despite this, Fujifilm scientists in Tokyo have been investigating ways in which the plate could be improved to make it even easier to use.

The result represents Fujifilm’s most advanced printing plate ever, with a combination of technologies that exhibit higher ink receptivity with much faster development on press, and a much wider tolerance of different press conditions, ink formulations and fount solutions.
