CTP Technology Improves Production Efficiency

CTP is a computer-to-plate machine. It is an important part of the entire prepress digital process. Its workflow is from the scanner input, the computer output digital file, to the digital proof output sample, finally confirmed by the customer, CTP directly output the printing plate. This whole set of work processes will gradually change the traditional traditional prepress process, which will not only shorten the working hours, but also save the use of consumables.

Digital process technology is currently the most advanced IT technology in the international printing industry, that is, CIP3. Whoever has mastered this technology will be able to achieve success and truly improve the technological level of the enterprise. In order to keep pace with the development of international technology, adapt to market competition, and develop new products, we first conducted research and experiments on the pre-press digital process technology, and introduced a number of pre-press digital process software and equipment. These devices include PDF process software systems, thermal CTP machines, laser imagesetters, drum scanners, digital proofers, and more. We started from the pre-press service interface and conducted digital curve testing and testing of each interface process. From scanning input, digital printing, PDF conversion, RIP interpretation, to CPT and CTF output, we gradually established and improved each process phase. The matching digital process data enables the prepress part to achieve a digital process.

The prepress digital process flow has been gradually applied to production after the company's trial production. Panda brand (Times) cigarettes, L'Oreal, 蓓 丝 silk, Green Double Happiness and other packaging products are printed on the car through the prepress digital process CTP direct plate printing, the plate parameters, printing curve data is normal, so that the technical content of the product It has been effectively improved and has been recognized by customers.

The use of CTP technology can also bring anti-counterfeiting effect. Using the CTP hybrid network technology in the Panda brand (Times) cigarette trademark is one of the anti-counterfeiting functions of the Panda brand (Time Version) cigarette label, and it does not increase the cost. While providing fast and high-quality services to users, it provides users with advanced services with advanced features, and possesses advantageous conditions for enterprises to participate in market competition.

CTP plate making technology is more suitable for medium and high-end customers, such as international brands L'Oréal, 蓓azes, etc. These products have high requirements for color, the printed products need to be the closest to the color of the manuscript, and the CTP platemaking will satisfy the users. Needs, for the enterprise to lock in the high-end customer base, to provide customers with better personalized services to create the conditions.
