Computer plate making machine, CTCP plate making machine, CTP plate making machine, thermal plate making machine
CTP (Computer to Plate) is a technology that directly outputs digital prepress files onto printing plates, replacing traditional film plate making processes. Its core is to directly image on the printing plate coated with a photosensitive layer through laser or light energy, improving printing efficiency and accuracy.
Core technology composition
Imaging system: laser diode (UV/purple laser), thermal sensing technology or photopolymerization technology.
Plate types: thermal plate, photopolymerization plate, silver salt plate, etc., to match different printing needs.
Automated process: Integrated RIP (raster image processor), automatic plate supply, punching, and development modules.
Efficiency improvement
Shorten plate making time: skip film development and typesetting steps, reducing the process by 30% -50%.
High precision imaging: with a resolution of 2400-4800 dpi, the dot restoration is more accurate.
cost optimization
Reduce material waste: No need for film or chemical washing, reducing consumable costs.
Labor saving: Automated operations reduce manual intervention.
environmentally
Eliminate the chemical development process in traditional plate making and reduce toxic waste (such as silver salt wastewater)
