• Product Description

The forms are created through direct exposure (Computer-to-Plate) of the image onto the printing plate. This process eliminates the need for installation and copying steps in the workflow, enhancing print quality and reducing setup time. The result is an almost flawless combination of CtP forms, particularly those with punches made during the exposure process.

We exclusively use thermal exposure systems, which ensure the highest possible quality. All of the forms we produce feature a two-layer coating, significantly improving circulation resistance and providing enhanced protection against aggressive chemicals. These forms are suitable for a wide range of printing tasks, including complex jobs and high-volume runs (over 50,000 sheets), as well as printing with foils and UV inks. They deliver flawless linearization, sharp raster points, and consistently reproduce 1-2% rasters with precision. Shadowing on the printing plates is virtually eliminated.

In response to the evolving needs of packaging printing, corrugated boxes are increasingly becoming more refined, vibrant in color, and larger in size. Gone are the days when simple fonts and images sufficed; today, they dominate a significant share of printed products. Unlike most paper printing tasks which have transitioned to high-speed and large-scale color printers, packaging printing remains resilient due to the diverse materials that cannot accept traditional printer inks.

Conventional corrugated printing undeniably commands the majority of the printing sector, leveraging its originality and cost-effectiveness through high-speed printing. Embracing this new era post-pandemic, trends lean towards colorization, refinement, and automation. The key lies in digitization-aiming to minimize reliance on manual labor as much as possible. Thus, the complete computerization of flexo plate making is now imperative.

From color separation to screening, exposing, washing, and post-treatment, labor's role now primarily involves plate handling and keystrokes. Standardizing pre-press operations ensures that novices and experts alike can achieve equally stunning printing plates without deep knowledge of printing principles. The traditional notion of a printing master is fading into history.

Meanwhile, the use of plastic film in flexible and elaborate packaging printing strengthens the plastic industry's capabilities. The advent of filmless pre-press equipment and innovative digital plate-making technologies allows in-plant plate production without a master, slashing plate costs by up to 80% and eliminating wait times. This advancement not only enhances production management but also reduces the need for skilled labor, transforming anyone adept with a computer into a pre-press operations expert.

Introducing the CTP (Computer-to-Plate) direct imaging inkjet printer further revolutionizes pre-press operations by directly printing images onto plates without negative film. Coupled with no-vacuum exposure capabilities on flatbed inkjet printers, alongside modern automatic plate washing, anti-tack, drying, and post-exposure equipment, these advancements consolidate all pre-press tasks into a few streamlined processes. This digitalization, computerization, and reduction of manual intervention represent indispensable tools for future printing generations, ensuring efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced production capabilities throughout the 2020s and beyond.
