AGFA CHRISTMAS GIFT TO PRINTERS
Since the launch of the first Azura plate ten years ago, Agfa Graphics’ ThermoFuse™ has been the leading technology in sustainable platemaking. And in what I term as a Christmas Gift to sheet-fed offset commercial printers, Agfa Graphics – at an exclusive press conference at its headquarters in Mortsel, Belgium announced the latest addition to its assortment of chemistry-free printing plates – the New Azura TU Chemistry-Free Printing Plate.
My verdict: Agfa takes our environment and Return On Investment (ROI) for Printers seriously with its chemistry-free printing plates. This is the more reason, Agfa gathered important and selected print trade journalists from around the world to witness the launch of the New Azura TU Chemistry-Free Printing Plate. WHERE To Print magazine was the only trade magazine selected from Africa for the press conference.
