Demonstrations

The Mitsubishi Litho Center is the heart and soul of MLP U.S.A.'s corporate headquarters. It serves as a combination demonstration and training site. Here, sales and service personnel, customers and press operators discover the production efficiency and quality-enhancing features of the latest Mitsubishi innovations, from prepress technologies to advanced printing solutions. A fully integrated workflow demonstrates numerous innovations providing a seamless link between prepress and manufacturing operations.

The Litho Center also functions as a research and development facility, where expert technicians and engineers develop and test new applications that enhance the performance and productivity of Mitsubishi systems. For instance, the newest generation of DiamondLink III, Mitsubishi's CIP4-compatible automated press control system, was developed here. In addition, partner manufacturers utilize the Litho Center to field-test new products and peripheral devices.

Training Program

Instituted in 1989, Mitsubishi's comprehensive in-house training program is an integral part of our ongoing support to the graphic arts community. Through detailed classroom instruction and hands-on operational training, press operators and pressroom supervisors learn about the capabilities of Mitsubishi presses.

Courses are conducted the third week of each month, and run eight hours a day for five days. Each course begins with a technical overview, explanation of safety procedures and discussion of parts and maintenance procedures necessary to achieve continued productivity. Extensive operational training includes makeready procedures, automated running systems and wash-up of the press. On-site training at the time of installation allows press operators to practice skills they will need to operate the press on a daily basis.
