Chinese manufacturer Konita (5-C39) used the show as the launchpad for its NP non-process plate. 

“They are showing half of a plate imaged on a thermal CTP and the other half on a UV platesetter. Then we take a cup of water to wash off the image,” said Peter Flynn, managing director at Konita’s OEM partner International Graphic Supplies. 

Konita commissioned a new plate line to manufacture NP last month. 

It can be ‘processed’ on-press using fount solution or in a water wash-out unit.
