Agfa’s advanced coating technology

Thanks to Agfa’s innovative dual-layer coating technology, Energy Elite Eco offers a remarkable robustness that eliminates the need for pre- or post-baking while still achieving runs up to 600,000* prints. It provides high sensitivity for flawless, future-proof performance in all high-speed thermal platesetters.

Furthermore, the advanced Energy Elite Eco technology enables a wide press latitude in sheet-fed, heatset and UV packaging printing. As such, it ensures excellent lithographic performance, fast restarts, low dampening levels, and a stable ink-water balance. Also guaranteeing fast roll-up, Energy Elite Eco enables faster results with less waste.

Supreme, photorealistic imaging quality

As a thermal printing plate, Energy Elite Eco is daylight-safe. Especially designed to be compatible with the latest imaging standards and the highest imaging resolution on the market, the plate enables the creation of durable, photorealistic images with 340 lpi Sublima and FM10 screening technologies. Energy Elite Eco offers quality-consistent printing results at 1-99% dot resolution and without dot loss.

Optimal ECO³ advantages with Arkana

Energy Elite Eco perfectly fits into the Agfa ECO³ framework, designed with a dedication to ecology, economy, and extra convenience. Combined with standard processors, the printing plate effects a 20% decrease in waste production and chemicals used. It also allows for a longer bath life, less frequent and easier processor maintenance. Processors can be cleaned using standard tap water.

Combine Energy Elite Eco with the Arkana smart plate processing technology to benefit optimally from the full range of its ECO³ features:

• reduced chemistry consumption, with extremely low replenishment rates
• bath life up to 15,000 m²
• reduced cleaning frequency and easy maintenance due to Energy Elite Eco’s clean chemistry
• no harsh chemicals required for processor cleaning
• total elimination of rinse water
• total waste reduction of up to 50% compared to conventional processing systems

Optimal performance with Elite Eco Founts

Ink, water, fountain solution, washes… During the printing process, there are many products that interact with your blanket, metal and plate coatings. Agfa developed the Elite Eco founts alongside the Energy Elite Eco plates to guarantee their optimal performance:

• Run length performance up to twice as high compared to the existing fountain additive in case of chemical plate attack
• good press stability and low water settings
• economical dosage in combination with most ink types
