Talking about the Environmental Protection Performance of Purple Laser Chemical Treatment CTP Plate

The environmental protection of Violet Laser Chemical-free Processing Plates is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:

1) The amount of waste generated is significantly reduced, only 3-4% of the common CTP plate, and the pH is neutral.

2) According to VITO NV's full life cycle study of the chemical-free violet- CTP system and common thermal CTP system (including equipment, plates, and potions), it can be found that the impact of the chemical-free treatment system on the environment and humans is significantly reduced. And the reduction is largely due to the application of chemical-free processing media (the environmental impact of equipment and the aluminum production process of the media are basically the same).

As a first step in environmental protection in Europe and the United States, in 2012 the amount of chemical-free violet laser plate exceeded the total amount of 30% of the purple laser plate, and 2013 is more likely to reach 40-50%. The pace of environmental protection in the Asian region is also accelerating. More than 10 newspapers have adopted the N94-VCF violet laser-free chemical plate in the newspaper industry. More newspapers are planning to switch the use of CTP plates to chemical-free. Deal with violet laser plates.

In addition to Agfa, major global media manufacturers are also vigorously developing and promoting chemical-free processing of plates. It is expected that chemical-free plates will be the mainstream of CTP applications in the near future. This will significantly improve prepress production. The impact on the environment for the benefit of future generations.
