Quarter-cut Size Paper Compatible CTP/CTF Thermal Digiplater

TDP-459II/TDP-324II

Completely process-less, requiring no toner or ink.
This dual-purpose thermal digitizer is a one that can output both printing plates and plate-making film.

Completely Process-less and Zero Waste

The only consumables are printing plates and film, reducing running costs.
It does not use toner or ink, and is completely process-free, reducing its environmental impact.

Light Resistant

Because it is a direct thermal image forming system, it can be handled and stored in a completely bright room, even when printing plates and film are being output.

Easy Maintenance

In addition to its compact design, it does not use processing agents, so your hands won't get dirty and no special techniques are required. Daily maintenance is easy.

Banners, flags, and cardboard printing are all possible too.

By using the TDP long option, it is now possible to output long lengths of prepress film, which is required for large format applications.

Thermal Digiplate

TDP-R175

"TDP-R175" was born by combining the printability technology of Silver Digiplate (SDP) with the image forming layer construction technology of thermal paper.

  • Flexible printing plate that is completely process-less
  • Plate making is possible using only dry drawing, with no wash-off, allowing for accurate printing reproduction.
  • Forms high-contrast images and has excellent plate inspection properties

Etching and Dampening Liquids for Thermal Digiplates

We offer etching and dampening liquids for thermal digiplates. 

Please try it when using the thermal digiplate system.

Type Brand name Quantity Features
Etching Liquid TDP-HL 1ℓ Achieves stable printing from start to finish.
Dampener TDP-DL1N 1ℓ, 5ℓ Standard dampening liquid for Synflo printing machines, allowing for stable printing.
Dampener TDP-DL2 1ℓ A dampening liquid to prevent printing problems caused by insufficient emulsification.
Dampener TDP-DL3 1ℓ, 5ℓ This is an all-round humidifier that can be used for all small machines.
Dampener Additive TDP-DA1 1ℓ Placing it in a humidifying solution prevents it from drying out when printing starts.

Compatible Films

TDP-IFS125

TDP-IFS125 is a plate-making film for printing plates that utilize the heat-induced phase change of a thermosensitive coloring material made on a special film. The heat-sensitive coloring material in the area heated by the thermal head reacts and develops color. They develop visuals while blocking UV light during plate-making exposure.

  • Heat-sensitive film, manageable in a fully bright room
  • Eco-friendly and process-free, as no processing liquids such as developer or fixer are required
