Fujifilm Announces Addition of New Processless Plate
New SUPERIA technologies
The SUPERIA ZD processless plate incorporates three exciting new technologies — MGZ, HDN and s-HDS:
- 1. MGZ is a new graining structure, which has been added to Fujifilm's MGV technology used in the SUPERIA PRO-T3 plate, to ensure the optimum ink/water balance on press. This new plate structure enhances the adhesion between the substrate and the exposed image, further improving the robustness of the plate during printing.
- 2. In order to ensure compatibility with UV inks, a new accelerator has been introduced. As a result, optical energy is used to efficiently cross-link the binders to produce a high density network (HDN). This HDN technology ensures the exposed image has a higher resistance against UV inks and related press chemicals.
- 3. Fujifilm's newly developed “s-HDS” technology optimises the water holding properties of the surface of the non-image area. This enhances the resistance to toning and improves ink/water balance while retaining the fast on-press development characteristics of SUPERIA PRO-T3.
Further contribution to all five SUPERIA resource savings
Like the SUPERIA PRO-T3 plate, the new SUPERIA ZD plate contributes to resource savings in five key areas: material, labor, energy, environment and water, while also offering the additional benefits of longer run lengths, web press suitability and enhanced chemical resistance — meaning that it is suitable for the latest UV press technologies including LED-UV and H-UV printing.
Fujifilm is committed to the long-term growth of print businesses globally and as such, it is a leading provider of multiple print products and solutions, from workflow systems and digital press platforms; to press chemicals and packaging solutions. The full range of Fujifilm's products and solutions will be on display on the Fujifilm stand at drupa 2016 (A25, Hall 8b).
