Mitsubishi imaging shows chemistry-free flexible CTP plate at Graph Expo
RYE, NY – Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc., the leading provider of polyester CTP technology, will show its first ever chemistry-free flexible CTP plate, Thermal DigiPlate, at GRAPH EXPO in Chicago, Sept. 9-12, 2007.
Thermal DigiPlate and the complete line of Mitsubishi Imaging products will be on display in the company’s Booth #4844.
Thermal DigiPlate is a revolutionary new flexible CTP plate that is completely processless and chemistry-free. It is an excellent choice for small printers who want an eco-friendly upgrade from laser and electrostatic plates.
“A rising favorite among cost-conscious commercial printers, Mitsubishi Imaging now offers printers an economical CTP plate upgrade for single and spot color jobs,” said Frances Cicogna, Director of Marketing Communications at Mitsubishi Imaging. “This is a big step forward for Mitsubishi flexible CTP plates. We are already at work on the next generation of chemistry-free flexible CTP plates for process color printing.”
Drawing on Mitsubishi Imaging’s expertise in paper technologies, Thermal DigiPlate uses a patented thermal fusing technology to create a high-contrast image on plate without chemical development or wash-off. The plates are exposed in a low-cost platemaker that uses a thermal head system. Ideal in high-volume environments, the platemaker can produce up to 60 plates per hour and output plates up to 18.1” x 20.8”. The platemaker has an output resolution of 1200dpi and up to 133lpi.
“Thermal DigiPlate makes Mitsubishi innovation affordable for even small printers. It’s a clean, environmentally friendly solution that’s easy to use and maintain.”

Great Plates, less waste: Mitsubishi Imaging showcases DPX 4 ECO polyester platesetter at GRAPH EXPO
RYE, NY – Greener platemaking is within reach.
Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc. will unveil its DPX 4 Eco polyester platesetter at GRAPH EXPO in Chicago, Sept. 9-12. Targeted at 4-up printers looking for the accuracy of metal computer-to-plate (CTP) with the savings of polyester, the DPX 4 Eco reduces chemistry usage and waste by about 40% and offers the industry’s smallest footprint for 4-up CTP platesetters.
The DPX 4 Eco and the complete line of Mitsubishi Imaging products will be on display in the company’s Booth #4844.
The DPX 4 Eco accomplishes its dramatic reduction in chemistry using patented eco processing technology similar to that found in its popular SDP-Eco1630IIIR platesetters. Using the eco processing technology in the DPX 4 is just another way that Mitsubishi is bringing 4-up commercial printers right-sized solutions that meet their specific needs.
“The savings of the DPX 4 Eco are impossible to ignore,” said Mitsubishi Senior Product Manager, Colleen Molkenbur. “Some printers will appreciate the compact footprint. Some will relish the savings from cutting the chemistry in half. All will love the lower plate prices. From any angle, the choice to upgrade toSilver DigiPlateCTP has become even easier.”
Mitsubishi DPX platesetters image directly to the built-in punch, which eliminates manual errors and guarantees precisely registered plates every time. If a plate gets damaged, the DPX 4 Eco reproduces it exactly. There is no opportunity for error.
