The Violet Digiplater CTP system runs inline with the Digiplater VDPCF3070 water recycling system, which contains one normal filter tank as well as two “biological degradation” tanks.
The four-up platesetter runs photopolymer plates that are water washable and do not require gumming. After being imaged on the CTP, the unexposed photo-polymer is washed off with normal tap water.
Mitsubishi has overcome this with a one-of-a-kind processing system in which biological organisms “eat” the photopolymer waste.
