Processing & Press Room Solutions
SLM-AC and SLM-ST SLM-EcoAC and SLM-EcoST

SilverMaster® Activator and Stabilizer
Formulated for your success

How do you produce the perfect plate? You start with Silver DigiPlate or SilverMaster material, then you process your imaged plates in solutions specifically formulated to make them perform at their best. That chemistry is SilverMaster SLM-AC Activator and SLM-ST Stabilizer. Both solutions are available in a variety of pack sizes for your convenience. And both are concentrated, ready to be combined with water for your added value.

SLM-AC and SLM-ST provide proven performance you can count on, for everyday jobs and for those critical assignments that demand absolute perfection. Plate quality, your peace of mind and your customer’s satisfaction are never in doubt when SLM-AC and SLM-ST power your processing.
SLM-AC Activator

Activator brings out the essence of every job. SLM-AC Activator ensures that you get all the resolution and quality out of each image that you put into it, right down to the finest spot. Its active ingredients are formulated to last, so your prepress staff can spend less time changing chemistry and more time making plates.
SLM-ST Stabilizer

The stabilizer solution prepares the plate for the press by lowering the plate’s pH to a level that’s just right for offset printing. SLM-ST Stabilizer is formulated to add extra precision to that process, when used with SLM-AC Activator and SilverMaster or Silver DigiPlate material. It also adds extra durability to your plates to prolong their useful life.
pH Controlled

Knowing when to replenish your activator and stabilizer is the key to producing consistent plates. Both SLM-AC Activator and SLM-ST Stabilizer turn that art into a science. Your prepress technician need only check the pH of the solutions to measure their strength. The result - you control the quality and get the most from every drop of solution.
Eco Activator & Stabilizer
Do more with less

Cut costs with less impact on the environment with SLM-EAC Eco Activator and SLM-EST Eco Stabilizer, only from Mitsubishi Imaging. Designed exclusively for use in our SDP-Eco1630 series of platesetters, these industry-leading solutions get the job done with up to two-thirds less chemistry than conventional formulations. That saves you both materials and labor costs, while improving the ecology of your production stream.
Raising the bar

We replaced the traditional processing tanks in our SDP-Eco1630 platesetters with our patented Eco coating technology. It coats the plate with just enough EcoAC and EcoST to develop the plate. That reduces the amount of processing solution used to the absolute minimum. EcoAC and EcoST are the only formulas that let you take advantage of the resulting benefits, because they are the only solutions recommended for use in our SDP-Eco1630 series platesetters.
The patented Eco technology eliminates the need to replenish for oxidation and guarantees fresh solutions are used to process each plate. This greatly reduces your waste, minimizing disposal. That means you and your prepress crews can focus less on maintenance and more on productivity when you use SLM-Eco Activator and SLM-Eco Stabilizer.

Plate processing is the crucial link between prepress and your pressroom. Make it a productive one by using SLM-Eco Activator and SLM-Eco Stabilizer.


SDP-Ultimate Chemistry
Enhancing CTP performance in your pressroom

To get the maximum return from your CTP investment, you need plate cleaner and fountain solutions specifically formulated to enhance print quality and plate durability. That’s why we bring you SDP-Ultimate Chemistry.

SDP-Ultimate Fountain Solution is an easy-to-use formula specifically designed for integrated dampening systems. Compatible with polyester, paper and metal plates, it speeds press start-up, provides a wider print latitude and promotes faster ink drying — all essential to saving you time and money in the pressroom. And SDP-Ultimate Fountain Solution is alcohol-free to help make your pressroom more environmentally sound.

SDP-Ultimate Plate Cleaner conditions and desensitizes polyester and paper plates so your press starts up cleaner. During the run, it eliminates toning and scumming, while maintaining your water and pH balances, optimizing your run length.
SLM-OD and SLM-OD50

Fountain solutions that complement your SDP and SLM plates

Silver DigiPlate™ and SilverMaster® Systems are much more than a way to transfer images from prepress to pressroom. They are comprehensive productivity systems, designed to help you excel, up and down your production stream. Key components of that system are SLM-OD and SLM-OD50 fountain solutions. Choose one to complement the performance of your SDP or SLM plates.
Attuned advantages


SLM-OD is formulated for use with conventional dampening systems. The solution is diluted 1-to-15 with tap water, making it an economical choice. Normal conductivity range is 900-1500, providing your press operators with a wide sweet spot for success.
SLM-OD50

SLM-OD50 is designed for continuous dampening systems and large web presses. It is a highly concentrated formulation with a 1 to 50 dilution with tap water. Normal conductivity range is 100 to 300.
SLM-OA1 and SLM-OA2

Add productivity to your fountains

Making your pressroom more productive can be a case of simple addition. Just add SLM-OA1 or SLM-OA2 to your fountain solution and be prepared for superior print production.

Optimized dampening

Both OA1 and OA2 fountain additives were formulated to help you make the most of your Silver DigiPlate™ and SilverMaster® plates by optimizing the performance of your dampening solution. That means your press operators achieve the proper ink/water balance faster and can keep the proper ratio consistent throughout the printing process.
SLM-OA1

SLM-OA1 is an alcohol substitute. That helps both your business and the environment by making your pressroom more user-friendly and more ecologically sound. When added to your fountain solutions, SLM-OA1 helps the ink and water to blend more completely, up and down the ink train. OA1 is recommended for use on presses with continuous dampening systems. Just adding 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. per gallon of dampening solution makes the difference.
SLM-OA2

SLM-OA2 is a much milder wetting agent than OA1. It helps to attract and keep more water on the plate surface, without affecting dampening solution conductivity. A versatile performer, OA2 works well in presses with conventional dampening systems, continuous dampening systems and integrated dampening systems. It is also compatible with fountain solutions that contain alcohol or alcohol substitutes. Mix 1/2 oz. to 2 oz per gallon to improve your production process.

OEIII Deletion Pens

Corrections made easy

A little smudge, a minor typo, or a speck of dust on your polyester plates won’t slow your production when you equip your prepress and press crews with SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens.

Designed to work specifically on Silver DigiPlate™ and SilverMaster® plates, SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens make last-minute corrections a simple procedure. The job literally is completed with the stroke of a pen.

Corrections you make with our Deletion Pen dry instantly, so your plates are ready to go to press immediately. And with no chemical odor or special ventilation requirements, they are friendlier to your production environment.

The correcting fluid that powers Mitsubishi Imaging Deletion Pens contains a colorant that causes corrected areas to turn black or black/blue. And SLM-OEIII corrections last over time — for as long as a week after the correction has been applied.

SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens can even be used in the pressroom. If a correction is required on-press, all you need to do is clean the ink from the location in question and use the pen to make the correction.

There’s no need to redo plates when you have SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens on hand.
