1. Size A3 printing
The DP-43E/S has size A3 (290X410mm)
printing area.
The DP-33E/S and DP-31E/S has size B4
(250X350mm) printing area.
2. High-speed platemaking

print the first sheet of paper
With the DP-33E/S and DP-31E/S, it takes
15 seconds

3. High print quality
A new, originally-developed superfine ther-
mal head gives beautifully accurate repro-
ductions of fine print and halftone photo-
graphs.
Resolution is 400dpi in the DP-43E/S,and
DP-33E/S.

4. Simple operation
In the E series, a touch panel provides simple
operation.
In the S series, operation is simplified by con-
cealing occasionally-used keys under a panel,
leaving just the basic function keys perma-
nently accessible.
5. Fine Start Mode
This mode automatically sets optimum val-
ues for the following start conditions: tim-
ing of ink roller actuation during platemak-
ing, number of no-paper rotations with the
ink roller actuated. These optimum settings
are based on the room temperature
length of time the printer was out of use, and
the number of prints last time it was used.
They ensure clear printing right from the
first sheet.
*3: Room temperature of 10 ºC or below can cause
insufficient ink supply, even in Fine Start
Mode.
6. High-performance lamp
A long-life, high-brightness xenon arc lamp
is used to illuminate the documents. Since
the lamp's intensity is not affected by tem-
perature variation
temperatures is greatly enhanced
*4: The lamp is filled with xenon gas, which means
that it does not require heat to vaporize mer-
cury, as a fluorescent lamp does, and there-
fore its intensity does not vary with tempera-
ture.
*5: Increased viscosity of the ink at low tempera-
tures results in fainter printing than at nor-
mal temperatures.
