SLM-AC and SLM-ST SDP-EcoACII and SDP-EcoSTII
SilverMaster® Activator and Stabilizer
SilverMaster® SLM-AC Activator and SLM-ST Stabilizer are
solutions specifically formulated to make SilverMaster® and
Silver DigiPlate™ plates perform at their best. Both solutions
are available in a variety of pack sizes and come concentrated or
ready-to use.
SLM-AC Activator
SLM- AC’s job is photographic development. SLM-AC takes areas on the
plate hit by light and turns them black, causing those areas to become
a non-image and water-loving part of the plate. It also takes those
areas not hit by light and causes them to form metallic silver on the
plate surface. These areas become ink-loving. SLM-AC active
ingredients are formulated to last, so your prepress staff can spend
less time changing chemistry and more time making plates.
SLM-ST Stabilizer
SLM-ST stabilizer solution prepares the plate for the press by
lowering the plate’s pH to a level that’s just right for
offset printing. SLM-ST Stabilizer is formulated to be used with
SLM-AC Activator and SilverMaster® or Silver DigiPlate™
material, adding extra precision to the process. SLM-ST also adds
extra durability to your plates to prolong their useful life.
Knowing when to replenish your activator and stabilizer is the key to
producing consistent plates. Both SLM-AC and SLM-ST turn that art into
a science. Your prepress technician need only check the pH of the
solutions to measure their strength. The result – you control the
quality and get the most from every drop of solution.
SDP-Eco Activator & Stabilizer
Do more with less
Cut costs with less impact on the environment with SDP-EACII Eco
Activator and SDP-ESTII Eco Stabilizer, only from Mitsubishi Imaging.
Designed exclusively for use in our SDP-Eco1630 series of
platesetters, these industry-leading solutions get the job done with
up to two-thirds less chemistry than conventional formulations. That
saves you both materials and labor costs, while improving the ecology
of your production stream.
We replaced the traditional processing tanks in our SDP-Eco1630
platesetters with our patented Eco coating technology. It coats the
plate with just enough EACII and ESTII to develop the plate. That
reduces the amount of processing solution used to the absolute
minimum. EACII and ESTII are the only formulas that let you take
advantage of the resulting benefits, because they are the only
solutions recommended for use in our SDP-Eco1630 series platesetters.
The patented Eco technology eliminates the need to replenish for
oxidation and guarantees fresh solutions are used to process each
plate. This greatly reduces your waste, minimizing disposal. That
means you and your prepress crews can focus less on chemistry solution
maintenance and more on productivity when you use SDP-Eco Activator
and SDP-Eco Stabilizer.
Plate processing is the crucial link between prepress and your
pressroom. Make it a productive one by using SDP-Eco Activator and
SDP-Eco Stabilizer.

Mitsubishi Press Room Chemistry
Chemistry for SLM, SDP and TDP plates on press.
SLM Press Room Solutions
The true test of plates is their performance in the pressroom.
That’s why the Silver DigiPlate™ and SilverMaster®
Systems provide you with perfectly matched Fountain Solutions and
Fountain Additives. They deliver unparalleled results in the
pressroom, saving you time and money throughout the production
process.

SLM FOUNTAIN SOLUTIONS: SLM-OD and SLM-OD50
Fountain solutions work at the point of production, making the offset
process possible. Silver DigiPlate™ and SilverMaster®
SLM-OD and SLM-OD50 fountain solutions are formulated to be fully
attuned with the performance characteristics of Silver DigiPlate and
SilverMaster® plates.
Your advantages start with faster make-readies. SLM-OD and SLM-OD50
make a productive ink/water balance easier to achieve, and the
on-press consistency provided helps you produce a higher quality
finished product. Choose one to complement the performance of your SDP
or SLM plates.
SLM-OD Fountain Solution
SLM-OD is formulated for use with conventional dampening systems. The
solution is diluted 1 to 15 with tap water, making it an economical
choice. Normal conductivity range is 900-1500, providing your press
operators with a wide sweet spot for success.
SLM-OD50 Fountain Solution
SLM-OD50 is designed for continuous dampening systems and large web
presses. It is a highly concentrated formulation with a 1 to 50
dilution with tap water. Normal conductivity range is 100 to 300.
SLM FOUNTAIN ADDITIVES: SLM-OA1 and SLM-OA2
Making your pressroom more productive can be a case of simple
addition. Just add SLM-OA1 or SLM-OA2 to your fountain solution and be
prepared for superior print production.
Both SLM-OA1 and SLM-OA2 fountain additives were formulated to
optimize the performance of your dampening solution and to help you
make the most of your Silver DigiPlate™ and
SilverMaster® plates. With these additives, your press
operators achieve the proper ink/water balance faster and can keep the
proper ratio consistent throughout the printing process.
SLM-OA1 Fountain Solution Additives
SLM-OA1 is an alcohol substitute. That helps both your business and
the environment by making your pressroom more user-friendly and more
ecologically sound. When added to your fountain solutions, SLM-OA1
helps the ink and water to blend more completely, up and down the ink
train. SLM-OA1 is recommended for use on presses with continuous
dampening systems. Just adding 1/2 oz. to 1 oz. per gallon of
dampening solution makes the difference.
SLM-OA2 Fountain Solution Additives
SLM-OA2 is a much milder wetting agent than SLM-OA1. It helps to
attract and keep more water on the plate surface, without affecting
dampening solution conductivity. A versatile performer, SLM-OA2 works
well in presses with conventional dampening systems, continuous
dampening systems and integrated dampening systems. It is also
compatible with fountain solutions that contain alcohol or alcohol
substitutes. Mix 1/2 oz. to 2 oz per gallon to improve your production
process.
SLM DELETION PENS: OEIII Deletion Pens
A little smudge, a minor typo, or a speck of dust on your polyester
plates won’t slow your production when you equip your prepress
and press crews with SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens.
Designed to work specifically on Silver DigiPlate™ and
SilverMaster® plates, SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens make last-minute
corrections a simple procedure. The job literally is completed with
the stroke of a pen.
Corrections you make with our Deletion Pen dry instantly, so your
plates are ready to go to press immediately. And with no chemical odor
or special ventilation requirements, they are friendlier to your
production environment.
The correcting fluid that powers Mitsubishi Imaging Deletion Pens
contains a colorant that causes corrected areas to turn black or
black/blue. And SLM-OEIII corrections last over time — for as
long as a week after the correction has been applied.
SLM-OEIII Deletion Pens can even be used in the pressroom. If a
correction is required on-press, all you need to do is clean the ink
from the location in question and use the pen to make the correction.
There’s no need to redo plates when you have SLM-OEIII Deletion
Pens on hand.
Press Room Solutions for Use with Thermal DigiPlate
TDP-DL2 Fountain Solution
TDP-DL2 Fountain Solution for use with TDP-R175 plate material.
TDP-R175 is compatible with Mitsubishi SLM-OD Fountain Solution and
SLM-OA2 Fountain Additive and these are an excellent choice for
printers using TDP-R175 plates with dampening systems using molleton
rollers. TDP-DL2 is specifically designed to help maintain proper
ink/water balance and provide excellent printability when printing
with TDP-R175 on small offset presses with continuous dampening
systems such as Crestline.
TDP-HL Etching Solution
TDP-HL is a starter solution (etching solution) which enhances the ink
receptivity and the hydrophilic performance of the Thermal DigiPlate
material (TDP-R175). By etching the plate surface before printing is
started, TDP-HL provides high ink density and quick ink roll-up,
reducing paper waste.
TDP-DA1 Fountain Solution Additive
TDP‐DA1 Fountain Solution Additive enhances the hydrophilic
performance of SLM‐OD and TDP‐DL2 fountain solutions. In
doing so, this additive helps prevent ink toning on the leading edge
of the TDP-R175 plate and provides excellent printability for the
Thermal DigiPlate™ material. TDP‐DA1 Fountain Solution
Additive can be used with both types of fountain solutions offered by
Mitsubishi for presses running TDP‐R175 plates. The correct
fountain solution to use will depend on the type of press dampening
system being used as well as on the press conditions.
TDP-ER Deletion Pens
TDP‐ER Deletion Pens are correction pens for use before or
during printing of the Thermal DigiPlate™ media
(TDP‐R175) so your press operator can make corrections such as
deleting text or images.
