CTP of the "dark horse" CTcP debut
Early as 1995, the German bass-Indian Company (BasysPrint) had launched the first use of CTcP technology systems, but only tests products; Drupa2000, the use of traditional PS version of the UV flatbed platesetter was launched, lead to greater repercussions, but not among the CTP platesetter technology mainstream technology ranks; Drupa2004, at once the most popular digital workflow advancing JDF, almost simultaneously with the debut of thermal CTP PS printing plates based on traditional technology buried CTcP shine nearly 10 years later, as "Cinderella" to find their own "glass slipper", all of a sudden become a "Princess", has aroused widespread concern in the printing industry. Other companies have also launched its own CTcP products.

CTcP reason for popular, because of its unique advantages. Network with a square image to a lower-resolution high-quality printing, and can significantly reduce RIP time, reduce the amount of processing data, saving the computer system memory, such as exposure faster. Correspond to the PS version of dot matrix digital imaging, to eliminate plate occurs when the dot gain and the phenomenon of dirty spots. Full potential performance of traditional PS version. Excellent reproducibility can be 1% to 100% of the network, printing control also been extended to 1% to 99%.

Plate used for "live" and discussion. Different living conditions, both can use the Yin Yang plate plate can also be used. General text content-based printing products, with overcast graphics version of conventional PS (N type); If the printing plate on a very large area image region (such as commercial printing), or some special ink corrosion (such as UV ink), you can use Positive-type PS version (P-type, resistance to chemical corrosion resistance, high strength and India).

PS printing technology with the traditional fast, stable, smooth integration, not only guarantee the stability of printing, but also to ensure the economy and high efficiency. PS version of the machine printing and image reproduction capability after the market long-term tests, been recognized technology giants in the perfect technology and has been in the printing industry's most widely used. CTcP can continue to use the introduction of the original plate processor and imaging liquid; can network with existing network environment, low cost operation.

CTP platesetter technology trends CTP-to-plate technology has entered the thermal, violet laser CTP and CTcP "Three Kingdoms" era. High thermal CTP technology, plate making high quality, technological innovation and more lead CTP. Violet laser CTP within the drum to create simplified, high-speed exposure, imaging unit smaller, technology has become mature CTP rookie; CTcP should use the PS version of the traditional, integrated, low cost, and the original pre-press equipment and printing converge which have sprung up everywhere.

Customer needs into a single device to fully digital CTP workflow odds. Systematic and comprehensive solution, to achieve any part in the production of print, proofing, to allow last minute changes to high demands, helping to eliminate human factors, to facilitate the digital transmission of information, easy to quickly find and solve the problem to ensure that the whole system efficiency and security.

Prepress equipment resources sharing. A RIP, many times the output, productivity and technology level is increased, and easily achieve a variety of file formats for compatibility between systems and hybrid operation.

Replaceable light source technology, CTP equipment. CTP plate in the diversification of sources and circumstances can change light source technology to ensure customer investment in CTP device from the light source change.

Printing to meet the increasingly stringent production requirements. Will further meet the output high-speed, size diversity, process automation requirements, while power will be greatly enhanced resistance to India and can meet the high-precision color printing network and other aspects of printing.

CTP workflow will target different market segments and further specialization.
