PRINT 13: Inkjet and a Whole Lot More
Mitsubishi Imaging held a technology demonstration of its four-up processless, chemistry-free Thermal DigiPlater, the TDP-670E. Offering 1,200-dpi resolution, high-speed production and able to image both plates and film, it requires no chemicals, toner or ink ribbons for imaging.
In the Bindery
PRINT 13 had plenty of new bindery options as well. Creasing and slitting equipment continues to be popular. Duplo (which had its best show since 2007, according to Si Nguyen, business development manager) debuted its DC-646 slitter/cutter/creaser, the successor to the popular DC-645; it performs up to six slits, 25 cuts and 20 creases in a single pass.
