Mitsubishi finds new application for Diamond Jet Inkjet Film
Concerned about the rising costs of traditional graphic arts film? Then you will want to see Mitsubishi Imaging unveil this new application for a trusted product when we demonstrate how to use Diamond Jet Inkjet Film media to replace traditional Graphic Arts film. By driving a high quality, wide format inkjet proofer/printer from a film RIP and using Mitsubishi Diamond Jet Inkjet Film media, customers can output high density clear film in a more cost effective way. Using our Diamond Jet Inkjet Film system to replace traditional graphic arts films gives our customers a cost effective replacement for Silver Halide film, while eliminating the compliance issues and costs of film processing chemistry.

Eco-friendly Thermal DigiPlate Processless CTP System
Mitsubishi Imaging wants to show 2-up printers that going green in CTP can be affordable and productive. Prominently featured in our Booth #841 will be the processless and chemistry-free Thermal DigiPlate CTP system, capable of running 1200 dpi plates at 75 plates per hour with no chemicals, no toner and no ink ribbons. Real savings on chemistry disposal, plate costs, maintenance, labor and time from using the Thermal DigiPlate System will give small to medium sized printers the competitive edge to gain more jobs and increase their profitability.

Mitsubishi Imaging previews new technologies in chemistry-free violet CTP
Mitsubishi Imaging will preview its chemistry-free, violet-sensitive DigiPlate CTP System, comprised of the chemistry-free PDP-VL DigiPlate and PDP violet CTP platesetter.

This future product is designed for high resolution printing with run lengths of up to 20,000 impressions, and will produce output with the offset quality and affordability of Mitsubishi Imaging’s premium Silver DigiPlate.
