Mitsubishi's Thermal DigiPlate is a 2-up CTP system ideal for small printers with duplicator or 2-up presses, who want an environmentally friendly upgrade from analog and electrostatic plates.

The Thermal DigiPlate System is comprised of TDP-R175 plate material and the Thermal DigiPlater platesetter TDP-459. Thermal DigiPlate is a truly processless, environmentally friendly system that is easy to operate and maintain.

This unique system draws on Mitsubishi Paper Mills' years of experience in CTP polyester and paper-based plate technologies as well as their thermal paper technologies. Thermal DigiPlate uses a patented thermal fusing technology to create a high-contrast image on the plate without chemical development, wash-off or ablation. The system requires absolutely no chemicals, toner or ink ribbon, so it's easy to maintain and less costly. No more processor maintenance or chemical disposal. Maintenance is simply wiping clean the thermal head.

Total Automation

The Thermal DigiPlater is a fully automated CTP system. It requires minimal training to operate and minimal time to produce press-ready plates. You simply load it with a roll of Thermal DigiPlate TDP-R175 and the Thermal DigiPlateressentially runs itself. You can send 1-bit Tiff files from a RIP to the TDP Controller. Plates are imaged, cut to size and ready for press in less than a minute. Conventional platemaking steps like exposing and processing film, paste-up, stripping and plate burning are suddenly obsolete, as is chemical processing. That saves you time, money and materials.

Right-sized Production

The Thermal DigiPlater's high-speed, in-line thermal head technology can produce up to 75 plates per hour at 1200 dpi. Plate sizes range from 10" x 5.9" to 18.1" x 20.86" (depending on the platesetter model) to accommodate forms, duplicators and two-up presses. Add to this a compact footprint that can fit in even the smallest of shops. With this truly processless system, savings on consumables also frees up your storage space. No more chemicals, toner, ribbons or special disposal systems.

Be Green, Get Green

Printers know that to compete in today's market, CTP production is required for cost-effective offset printing. The Thermal DigiPlate CTP System brings the small printer the added benefits of processless, chemical-free platemaking. TDP improves the work environment for your employees while reducing your business' impact on the environment. The savings abound with Thermal DigiPlate - material savings, disposal savings, maintenance savings, labor savings and time savings. All of this, plus stream-lined CTP production and faster turn-around times, give you the competitive edge to gain more jobs and increase your profitability.
