• True Chemistry-free operation¯ No baking, no gumming and no on-press developing
• Full daylight safe handling
• High contrast, visible image on plate after exposure / cleaning
• High sensitivity coating allows plate production at full platesetter rated speed
• Spent waste water is drain disposable
• Excellent solvent resistance¯ Highly compatible with UV printing applications¯ Imaging Energy Requirement
> Approximately 150 mj/cm2 of thermal laser energy
¯ Post Imaging Requirements> Water wash only after imaging
> Specific plate washing equipment is required
¯ Run length rated for 25,000 impressions
