Printing enterprises need to know: the future development direction of CTP technology

Since the emergence of CTP technology in the 1980s, through the joint efforts of the majority of equipment manufacturers and material suppliers, especially the plate research department, its technological advancement and quality stability have been recognized by the majority of users. There is a momentum of rapid development. So, what is the future development direction of CTP technology?

1. Coordinated development of multidisciplinary technologies

CTP technology is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary technology industry. It includes precision machinery and optical technology, electronic technology, color digital image technology, computer and software technology, new printing plate and material technology, automation technology and network technology. Automatic production system, the development of each discipline can promote the development of CTP technology, but only the coordinated development of the above disciplines can form another major technological revolution in the contemporary printing industry.

Second, the diversified development trend is obvious

In terms of hardware equipment, the four types of CTP equipment such as thermal CTP, violet laser CTP, UV-CTP and inkjet CTP have different market application forms and have good development momentum; in terms of software processes, the digital workflow is the CTP system At the core of the market, there are currently five types of digital workflow solutions on the market: Agfa ’s EPJ, Kodak ’s Prinergy, Heidelberg ’s Prinect, Screen Huihui, and Peking University Founder ’s Changliu. These digital workflows have been quite mature, emphasizing openness, compatibility, system integration and operability, and achieved stable and efficient operation.

3. Emphasis on green and low-carbon development

Now, energy saving and low carbon have become the main direction of development in all walks of life, and CTP technology is no exception. The continuous improvement of technology, the improvement of the green design level of products and the comprehensive utilization of resources have played an important role in the future development of CTP technology in the direction of energy saving. The low-consumption materials, low pollution, and low-emission environmentally-friendly processing-free plate materials reduce the plate-making process, reduce costs, increase production efficiency, and take a step toward green and environmental protection.

4. CTP technology is developing in the direction of integrated solutions

For enterprises, how fast and cost-effective to print products is the goal, so more companies require equipment suppliers to provide integrated solutions, from pre-press specifications, PDF electronic files, PDF trapping processing to electronic imposition, screening, CTP output, then digital proof matching, color and quality management, automatic output of ink data, printing curve correction, etc. In order to meet the requirements of customers, at present, all major scientific research and supply departments have increased their research and development efforts. At the same time, the competition of equipment suppliers is also concentrated on integrated solutions.

CTP technology has brought us a technological change. Whether technological advances can guarantee our printing companies to obtain huge profits, this requires all parties to show their magic.

Kitchen Utensils, like slotted spoons, spatulas, and mixing spoons, ladles, pasta spoons, make it easy to perform basic kitchen tasks. Without the proper kitchen utensils, it becomes difficult to prepare day-to-day meals.
