Agfa Graphics Launches New Azura TU Chemistry-Free Printing PlateThursday, November 14, 2013 Press release from the issuing company Enhanced runlengths, throughput, and sustainability for all sheet-fed commercial printers
“Switching from a conventional plate to Azura TU means less waste, less disposal costs, less maintenance, and a safer work environment. It also equals water savings of more than 95%”, says Dirk Debusscher, Vice President Prepress, Agfa Graphics. “Azura TU is more reliable, consistent and environment-friendly than any conventional plate making system.” Following an extensive testing program, Azura TU has now been released for sale. "The prime characteristic of Azura TU for us is that the plate is sustainable”, say Steven Yntema and Peter de Weerdt from Mediacenter in the Netherlands, formerly using conventional thermal plates. “We don’t need any chemistry. Just gum. That has a positive effect on the water consumption. We don’t dispose of any chemistry any more. What we dispose of is very little in quantity due to the gum.” Dax Britton, Prepress Manager, DG3, Gillingham, UK, shares his enthusiasm: “With the Azura TU plate we have a chemistry-free plate with all the environmental benefits that brings, but we haven't compromised on speed. With the amount of plates we produce, this was essential.” Azura TU completes Agfa Graphics' innovative eco-friendly plate assortment of Azura TS, Azura Vi, Amigo TS and N94-VCF.
