Fujifilm announced recently that it is using its presence at IFRA Expo 2012, stand 450, to launch its next generation newspaper plate: Brillia PRO-VN2. This plate is the latest in Fujifilm’s ‘low-chemistry’ range, and complements the well-known Brillia PRO-VN.

Fujifilm has been investing resources in both product development and manufacturing to enable it to offer one of the widest ranges of sustainable plate production systems on the market, and is expanding its successful range of ‘low-chemistry’ plate production systems with the launch of Brillia PRO-VN2.

The new plate is a more robust version of Brillia PRO-VN, suitable for longer run applications of up to 300,000 impressions, and boasts enhanced durability in addition to its low-chemistry features.  Traditionally, high run lengths have been difficult to achieve when using a simple low chemistry finishing process. However, Fujifilm has introduced Brillia PRO-VN2 to solve this problem, by developing a new binder and dispersion technology, and by improving production techniques in each manufacturing plant. Brillia PRO-VN2 is also more resistant to chemicals and thus able to be used in a wider range of conditions.
