Thermal CTP
CtP refers to the process of imaging digital printing data (created by a computer) directly onto a printing plate. A thermal CtP recorder uses a high-power near-infrared laser to image digital printing data onto specially processed aluminum-base printing plates. CtP completely eliminates the need for film output and subsequent film to plate image transfer. Since processing is completely digital, there are no variations between plates, which results in superior printing quality.

Since processing is completely digital, there are no variations between plates, which results in superior printing quality.
Thermal CtP offers more vivid image reproduction and higher quality than violet CtP. Thermal CtP can also be used in a daylight environment, which both eliminates the need for a darkroom and makes operation much more convenient.
