Superia LH-PJE


Low chemistry thermal CTP plate

A high-definition, positive-working thermal CTP plate for medium-run commercial print applications. Superia LH-PJE is suitable for ultra high quality 10 μm FM screening applications and can be used with UV inks, either unbaked or baked.

  • Run length: up to 200,000 (unbaked), 100,000 UV ink (unbaked), 300,000 (baked) 
  • „„Resolution: 300 lpi (1 – 99%) 
  • „„Significantly lower chemistry consumption when used with Fujifilm FLH-Z or FLC-TZ processors 
  • „„Suitable for ultra high quality print applications, including 10 μm FM10 screening 
  • „„Suitable for use with UV inks, with or without baking 
  • „„Enhanced Productivity Layer (EDL) for wider developing latitude and cleaner working 
  • „„Long bath life with ZAC processing (20,000 m2)

Lower chemistry consumption

Superia LH-PJE, when used with Fujifilm FLH-Z or FLC-TZ processors, can benefit from much lower chemistry consumption. Typically, a full bath of developer can develop up to 20,000m2 of plates resulting in substantial savings in developer consumption. For a printer using around 10,000 B1 plates over a 1-3 month period, chemistry consumption can be reduced by over 80% (depending on existing system used).

Lower maintenance

Maintaining perfect developer activity allows the developer bath life to be greatly extended beyond the norm for developing systems. It is typical to achieve bath life figures that are four or more times greater than normal plate processing systems. These improvements mean that a full bath of developer will now develop up to 20,000m2 of Superia LH-PJE plates, resulting in substantial reductions in cleaning down time. It is not uncommon to save over 40 hours of cleaning time for a large 32,000m² consumer of plates over a year’s plate production.

Cleaner working environment

The chemistry used for processing Superia LH-PJE plates in a ‘ZAC’ system is a nonsilicate based recipe. This makes a much longer bath life possible without the increase in developer sludge and filter blockages. In addition, Superia LH-PJE incorporates an Enhanced Development Layer (EDL) enhancing the solubility of the non-image areas during development, further aiding bath life, giving wider developing latitude and resulting in much cleaner working. Finally, as the chemistry contains no alcohol or solvents, this further enhances the working environment.

More stable plate production

Because of the way ‘ZAC’ processors intelligently control replenisher delivery, they are more stable making it much easier to achieve high quality, irrespective of changes to environmental conditions. This is particularly important for demanding FM screening applications.

The very highest quality & versatility

Superia LH-PJE can also be used with UV inks, either unbaked or baked, and is suitable for ultra high quality 10μm FM screening applications, making it one of the highest quality and most versatile plates on the market.
