Leipzig, Germany – IFRA, 17 October 2005 - Agfa announced today the addition of :Afirma FlexCam to its :Afirma CtP process-control system. The universal flexible video camera can be adapted to fit onto any belt or roller conveyor to automatically capture and interpret plate control targets. At IFRA, Agfa will demonstrate the FlexCam to capture critical plate quality parameters. The :Afirma FlexCam automatically captures the plate i.d. in the form of a 2D barcode, which eliminates the need for a separate barcode reader. The FlexCam works in concert with Agfa's :Afirma process-control solution to provide continuous, hands-free assurance of plate quality and CtP production tracking. :Afirma FlexCam will be available in the first quarter of 2006.
