Developed by TechNova in technical collaboration with Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Argos is suitable for all sheetfed and web offset applications. The ultra-short exposure time of Argos makes it ideal for the newspaper segment. The manufacturing technology and performance are similar to the world’s most popular negative-working plate : Agfa’s Zenith N555.
