September 14, 2005 -- Small commercial printers and quick print franchises with portrait or duplicator presses can realize the benefits of true internal drum platesetting, along with unsurpassed flexibility in plate size and resolution using the new DPX Lite platesetting system introduced by Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc., at PRINT 05 & CONVERTINGSM 05. The DPX Lite is designed to make plates for duplicator and 2-up portrait presses, in shops doing both two-color and four-color process printing. Quality color output is assured by the DPX Lite’s image-to-punch feature, which promotes excellent on-press registration.
