Graph Expo: Front-end Ingenuity
Mitsubishi Imaging showed its first chemistry-free, processless flexible CTP plate, Thermal DigiPlate. Geared toward small printers that want an eco-friendly upgrade from laser and electrostatic plates, Thermal DigiPlate uses a patented thermal fusing technology to create a high-contrast image on a 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 with a resolution of 1,200 dpi and up to 133 lpi.
