Mitsubishi Imaging is making going green affordable with the eco-friendly Thermal DigiPlate, the 2-up CTP system ideal for small printers who want an environmentally friendly upgrade from analog and electrostatic plates.

The Thermal DigiPlate is eco-friendly because it is a truly processless system that uses Mitsubishi Imaging’s patented thermal fusing technology to create a high-contrast image on the plate without chemical development, wash-off or ablation. The system eliminates the need for chemicals, toner, ink ribbon, processer maintenance and chemical disposal reducing your business’ impact on the environment.

The Thermal DigiPlate System is comprised of TDP-R175 plate material and the Thermal DigiPlater TDP-459. Easy to use and maintain, this unique system draws on Mitsubishi Paper Mills’ years of experience in CTP polyester and paper based technologies, as well as their thermographic paper technologies.

Thermal DigiPlate brings affordable green CTP production to small shops producing mostly one and two color jobs. With high speed production of up to 60 plates/hour and capable of outputting plates up to 18.1” x 20.8”, it is also well suited for high-volume environments looking for an eco-friendly option.
