Thermofuse Digital Plate Technology

Thermofuse is a totally new approach to digital printing plate technology, conceived and developed by Agfa. The imaging mechanism is based on thermal coalescence of sub-micron latex particles, a purely physical process. Thermofuse enables chemistry-free and truly processless digital platemaking, while offering printing plate properties very similar to today's currently used products. Because of the physical nature of the image creation, and the elimination of the variables inherent to chemical plate processing, Thermofuse technology is a powerful basis for new convenient, high performance printing plate products.
