Mitsubishi Imaging to Showcase New CtP and Digital Imaging MProducts and Solutions at GRAPH EXPO 15 itsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc. (Booth 631) is introducing new CtP devices and an expanded portfolio of digital imaging products at GRAPH EXPO 15 with the theme, “Mitsubishi is Print; Mitsubishi is Paper.” “Mitsubishi Imaging has listened to the marketplace and responded with new metal CtP platemakers and plates for small to medium sized commercial, in-plant, and screen printers and with our broad range of production inkjet papers for high-speed inkjet printing,” says Catherine Cartolano, VP of Sales and Technical Services at Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc. Mitsubishi goes metal Designed to grow as your business does, the Cron-ECRM is configurable with mix and match components that allow you to run manual to fully-automated.

This compact and fully automatic CtP platesetter is 100% chemistry More Colors, More Business: What a IFifth Station Can Do for Your Shop n today’s on-the-go world, attention is a commodity that’s hard to come by. For printers, it can be even harder. So how can you get your output to stand out among the constant stream of information your audience finds itself perpetually sifting through? Many of these attention-giving (or denying) decisions are made in the first fraction of a second in which someone sees a piece of information. A lot of the time, much to the chagrin of many of us in the printing world, collateral produced by a standard CMYK setup gets glossed over—no matter how nicely it’s been actually glossed over—by viewers scanning for something new and interesting to look at. That’s where five-color printing comes in. Through the addition of white and clear toner, you can produce output the likes of which many members of your audience have never seen. With beautiful pale colors, bright whites, glorious clear coats, and a whole new world of dark substrates open to you, you can start to win those split-second wars for attention, getting your foot in the door to convey your message. For all kinds of printers, that’s a huge value-add, potentially increasing ROI. For commercial printers especially, those eye-catching capabilities can translate directly into revenue, as impressed customers come back for more and word gets out to bring in new business. Ricoh’s (Booth 1231) new 5th Color Kit, provided in tandem with RICOH Pro C7100X series devices, aims to help commercial printers skip directly to the eye-catching proof points designed to bring in business by providing them with output samples they—and their potential customers—can hold, as well as step-by-step instructions to reproduce the effects the Kit leverages. While five-color printing was on the market prior to the RICOH Pro C7100X series launch, it has never before been available at such a low price point, meaning printers who previously felt priced out of the five-color space can finally make the jump. While simply introducing an audience to a type of output they’re not used to seeing can help win their attention, another huge component of such a winning formula is leveraging beautiful and interesting visuals. With the increased color gamut a fifth color station provides, the creative possibilities for your output increase enormously. How often have you—or your design department—been frustrated to find that the vision for the perfect collateral—breath-taking, exactly what the copy demands, impossible to improve upon—just can’t be produced accurately by your current, four-color setup? Compound that frustration with the wasted time and resources that go into attempts to tweak settings and print notquite right versions, and no one could blame a printer for feeling like tearing their hair out—or, perhaps more wisely, investing in a five-color device. If you’re curious—or, as a commercial printer, you think your customers will be curious—to see just what five-color printing can do, be sure to check out Ricoh’s 5th Color Kit, conveniently sorted into customer-oriented sections, such as “music venue” and “retail,” making it the perfect waiting-room book for a commercial shop. So while you’re at the show this year, be sure to take a look at some of the five-color samples that are available. And, once you’ve done that, get your phone out, because you’ll likely want to have a conversation with your accounts payable department soon after. CRON-ECRM free using only water in its processing.
