Today at Labelexpo Europe, Brussels, Fujifilm announces a new partnership with respected Swiss CTP equipment manufacturer Lüscher Technologies. The agreement signals Fujifilm’s commitment to continue to invest in the future of its analogue business – at the same time as it is pushing the boundaries with its digital technologies. The Fujifilm-Lüscher partnership gives Fujifilm a global contract to distribute Lüscher’s MultiDX! and Xpose! platesetter models. These expertly engineered devices will bring a range of benefits to Fujifilm label and packaging customers. High image resolution is assured, with a range of dpi options, with up to 10,160 dpi available. And as the devices keep plates static during imaging, accuracy is also hugely improved. Other benefits include: small plate imaging without the need to slow the imaging speed; no requirement for clamp bars or taping, and no risk of the plate dismounting during imaging. Furthermore, Lüscher Laser Diode Technology offers 980nm IR imaging for any ablative material such as flexo and letterpress plates and ablative films. Fujifilm’s existing partnership with HYBRID Software (announced earlier this year) will further benefit this partnership as multiple HYBRID RIP options, optimised for Lüscher CTP technology, are also available. David Parker, Category Manager, Analogue Packaging, Fujifilm EMEA says: Benedikt Strebel, CEO, Lüscher Technologies adds: To find out more, visit: Fujifilm at Labelexpo on stand C39 in Hall 9, or visit Luscher Technologies on stand D21 in Hall 11.
