Along with a wide array of paper, the company showcased two CTP systems at DRUPA.

SDP-Eco1630: Designed for both black-and-white and spot color CTP applications for small presses, the SDP-Eco1630 features high-speed capstan technology and outputs up to 78 plates per hour at 1,200 dpi. Using up to two-thirds less processing chemistry than analog systems, the SDP-Eco1630 features a self-contained processor that operates with two new processing chemistries designed to image Mitsubishi's Silver DigiPlate paper or polyester plate materials.
