A Full Plate

To address thermal technology weaknesses such as speed, handling and long processing trains, Agfa debuted its Thermostar plate line at IPEX. Product Manager Dave Furman says Thermostar plates can operate in true white-light environments without the need for a pre-bake. The photopolymer-based, positive-working plate provides run lengths up to 150,000 impressions without baking, and more than one million impressions with baking. It can be imaged in both internal and external drum platesetters.
