Alex: Do you mean set-back in the imposition program, or are you referring to the clamp areas at the head and tail of the plate, used to secure the plate to the drum during imaging? If this is an issue due to a narrow bend, like for a Harris/HDM/Goss Sunday press, then you could use a...

Yes, these are still quite popular plates... check with your local Agfa agent. Regards,

I suspect that device still has the original 532nm 100mW green laser. Therefore, you'd be looking for a visible light, positive plate like Agfa's LAP-O, or negative plate like Agfa's N91. Regards,

lfelton: Thank you for your confidence in Azura TS. I'd be interested to hear if your installed reality meets your selection expectations. Also - how did you choose your plates? Did you run some plate/press tests? Regards,

Hi Cory: Good to see you at the show. Our "crowds" did indeed attract notice. They "hid" a giant pillar on one corner, created virtual conference rooms when casual discussions turned more serious, and helped in the changing booth dynamics as our "human count-down clock/moving crowd" changed...

Kevin: Perhaps I'm still a bit foggy from the show, but I need clarification: <snip> White light ... and so forth are not a "variables" in that sense - they don't affect the dot percentages on the Thermal Direct plate <snip> I forget the specs for your plate, but I recall a 4 hour maximum of...

Actually Kevin - I've heard more of this concern from customers, than "competitors". It seems that this thread surrounds driving-out variables. With a white-light sensitive on-press clean-out plate, there are new variables to be aware of... amount of time in white light, amount of time in a...

Can I vote? (great to see you, Gordo)

Hello West. These are details that your local Agfa agent can best respond to. Regards,

Kevin: Don't shoot the messenger. Instead, come see Azura TS, the best-selling chem-free/processless plate, via our live imaging and gumming presentation at Print '09. Regards,

J: There are several sources that vendors belong to (like NPES), or subscribe to, to get industry reporting. The data shared in the May 2009 press release you pointed to was from a vendor-contributed and subscribed report coming out of the UK, published in March 2009, reflecting 2008 audit...

Kevin: The figure I posted is from the same industry sources that we both provide data to. Of course this is M2 volume. Regardless, we're showing Azura TS running at the show for those who'd like to see the market leader live. See you there!

FYI - Agfa will be imaging and cleaning-out live Azura TS plates at Print '09. With no such concern about white light, or latent image, prospects can see first-hand why of the "big 3", Azura makes-up 79% of the chem-free or processless plates in the market. Regards.

Hi KMGI: I can't discuss material information in a public forum, but I can point to our recent Q2 results. One can then compare this, to that of others, and draw their own conclusions on market share shifts. Regards,

Hi KMGI... As a point of interest, Based on recent NPES and Schreiber vendor-supplied data, for digital metal plates in the US market, other than the "big 3", the "others" all together represented about 13% market share. Regards,

Static: How does this description sound? :Apogee Media is an integrated publishing system that combines content creation and management with layout and editorial workflows. AGFA.com - :Apogee Media Regards,

Baldbug... You're in luck - I only befriend Azura TS users from Tasmania! I'd love to hear your observations on Acento/Azura TS - perhaps in the current Azura thread. Regards Regards,

Mike: Perhaps (very) self-serving, but I'd suggest getting sample chem-free or processless plates from at least the big three (Kodak, Agfa, Fuji), and run them on press first. Agfa's would be Azura TS Kodak's would be Thermal Direct and Fuji's would be Ecomaxx T or Pro-T Nearly 80% of the...

Gordo: Great videos from nine years ago! As a point of clarification, that Agfa LiteSpeed emulsion shares the same core Agfa ThermoFuse technology that is found in our DI plate - ThermoLite - which was released that year for those same presses outfitted with that Creo head (ie, Komori Project...

Ritter - WRT erasable plates on press - CreoScitex at GraphExpo 2000 showed the SP press technology - a spray-on emulsion. This emulsion was the core Agfa thermofuse technology found in Azura - we called the emulsion in the bottle LiteSpeed. Also - check-out ManRoland - and their DicoWeb...
