Printing Plates for Newspaper Printing
KODAK THERMALNEWS PT printing plates skip preheating and prewashing. Even so, you don’t sacrifice productivity. You save electricity, water and prepress time. At the same time, you still meet your deadlines with the highest print quality.
KODAK VIOLETNEWS GOLD digital plates enable fast imaging and processing. They’re built for demanding, high-productivity newspaper environments. As a result, you get consistent press performance and low developer consumption.
The LIBRA VP violet plate suits the fastest violet imagesetters. It offers print run durability of up to 200,000 copies, so it holds up well against the competition. In addition, its environmentally friendly decoating process reduces the impact on the environment.
