About DPX 4 Eco
 
The new DPX 4 Eco uses a field-tested and proven “green” technology. Instead of the plate entering a multi-bath processor, the chemistry is coated directly onto the plate in a thin layer. This results in extremely stable plate development and translates into a superior printed product. And with its dual magazine and built-in register punches, users can optimize their platesetter by outputting plates for two different presses, uninterrupted and without any operator intervention.
 
An integrated register punch system, for both 220mm and 425mm distances, ensures a perfect fit on press and endless time-savings from press adjustments. The DPX 4 Eco can be connected to any common front-end workflow, and automatic and dynamic adjustment of the spot size results in professional, high-quality plates. And the DPX 4 Eco does not require a water supply or drainage, making the system office or pressroom-compatible.
