We still get quite a few calls from printers using AB Dick DPM polyester platesetters, they usually are looking for another source for polyplate material. Although AB Dick plate material is manufactured by Mitsubishi, AB Dick designed a proprietary core so that you would have to buy the material from them. And of course they continue to raise the price, thinking you can’t get the plate material anywhere else. There are however hub conversion kits available that will allow you to use a standard spec 829 polyplate material.

Another nice benefit of the hub conversion kit is that you can also use Agfa Setprint Plus polyplate material in addition to the Mitsubishi. These hub conversion kits usually cost between $300 and $600.
