The Brillia HD LH-PJE plates offer great consistency and reliability which is crucial for us as we need to deliver our end products to a very high standard. We are really pleased to be doing business with Fujifilm and are most impressed with the great customer service we have received to date.”

Established in 1791, Ordnance Survey is now a self-financing £100-million-a-year organisation at the forefront of the e-business revolution, producing computer data products and high quality paper maps for business, leisure, administrative and educational use.

Sean Lane, technical support manager for plates at Fujifilm, adds: “Ordnance Survey is well-known for its high quality printed maps and we are delighted to be associated with them. Our Brillia HD LH-PJE plates are well established in the marketplace and continue to be a popular choice for printers throughout Europe. We look forward to building on this relationship in the future.”

The Brillia HD LH-PJE plate is a long-run, positive working thermal CTP plate that does not require pre-heating or post-baking, and is suitable for UV printing without baking. The plate also has enhanced handling characteristics minimising plate spoilage.
