Advanced technologies like Agfa's CTP equipment for thermal and violet plates combined with dedicated workflow software for colour management and unique automatic imposition as well as ink saving, press register compensation and proofing at the printing press offer powerful solutions will make their way to China Print 2013.

In addition, Agfa's thermal and polymer chemistry-free plate systems bring additional advantages through waste reduction and increased ease of use, unlike other 'green' systems that imply high costs and low return will form part of the highlights.

The green approach is not just limited to China Print, as a supplier of environment-friendly products, Agfa also makes an effort to reduce the impact of its own manufacturing activities on the environment. Agfa has achieved the ISO14001 (Environmental Management System) and OHSAS18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification in all manufacturing sites around the world. In 2011, Agfa launched a sustainable development and energy saving plan which was implemented in its premises in order to achieve optimal environmental performance.

This year's motto for Agfa at the show is Power of Print, as it strongly believes in print and supports this with value-adding and environment-friendly products. Agfa will be available at China Print 2013 at booth: hall E2-010.
