The Agfa Energy Elite is a no-bake thermal plate designed for today’s press environment; offering full compatibility with alcohol free and alcohol replacement founts, as well as UV inks, without the need for baking. Agfa Energy Elite's double layer technology uses a highly chemical-resistant second layer for long run performance without the need for post baking. Energy Elite can achieve runs of up to 500,000 and in harsh environments (e.g. UV and metallic inks) up to 150,000 copies, whilst its baking capability allows these run lengths to be further increased by 50-100%. Energy Elite plates can be used in all leading 830 nm thermal computer-to-plate systems and its very high sensitivity enables maximum productivity and plate throughput.
