DPX
System
The DPX Platesetting System is an internal drum device
that images 175-line, perfectly registered, press-ready Silver DigiPlateª
material directly from your desktop. The DPX Platesetter delivers
processed, dried, pre-punched, press-ready plates quickly and efficiently
so you can compete for short-run, process color jobs.
One Machine - One Process
The only polyester CTP system that fully integrates all process in
one unit and in one automated process.
With the finished digital original on your computer, it's easy to
create press-ready plates. Like any other printer the DPX is directly
connected to your MAC or PC environment. The page size is defined
and after selecting "print", a plate is produced. If imposition
is required, you only need a standard imposition tool.
What are the benefits of ctp?
Lower costs and increased productivity because there are no manual
processes the DPX enables you to produce more plates per hour, achieve
better usage of your printing machines and gives you the capacity
to take in more jobs without increasing labor cost.
Shorter delivery times - On-demand printing
Since the DPX CTP system reduces the process of plate making significantly,
delivery time to your customers can be similarly reduced. This makes
the DPX user an important and competitive player within the field
of on-demand printing.
Generates new business opportunities
With the DPX you have a highly versatile system, which allow you to
compete in the rapidly emerging process color (4 color) short run
market.
4 Color Applications
The DPX is the only dedicated polyester CTP machine on the market,
which directly from the machine, is able to support you with color
separated and punched plates (perfectly in register), ready to be
mounted directly onto the press.
Ensures high quality - every time
CTP technology guarantees top quality by making a clean, first generation
dot directly on the plate. All the quality-reducing intermediate steps
of classical platemaking are eliminated.
Ensures a correct image on the plate
Image position on the plate is controlled by the RIP and is set up
according to the specification you choose. It is always in perfect
register to your requirements for the gripper margin.
Flexibility
In order to save time when changing material widths and using different
printing presses, the DPX has two roll magazines which allow for usage
of a wide variety of plate sizes and printing presses.
Optional Plate Register Punch
As an option you can choose between various integrated plate punch
solutions (landscape, portrait or both). The unique feature of exposing
the plates in punch position ensures the accuracy to register two
or 4 color jobs (process).
Proofing
When implementing a digital CTP workflow, proofing can be one of the
many issues facing the printer. A variety of digital proofing devices
raging from laser printers to inkjet and dye sublimation printers
are available on the market today and are generally accepted by most
customers. Mitsubishi Imaging is pleased to be able to either supply
or recommend to our customers a proofing software plug-in solution
for any of our digital platesetters. Mitsubishi Imaging also offers
a full line of Ink Jet Papers to meet your proofing needs, including
our Ink Jet Proofing Paper which is shade matched to commercial printing
stock for the most accurate proofs available.
