CTP Computer to Plate

etba3 uses the latest Computer to Plate technology, saving both time and money and improving print quality.


Quicker Production Cycles CTP eliminates steps from the production cycle. Even in a Computer to Film (CTF) workflow it can take five steps from having the copy in digital form to having it imaged on a plate. In a CTP process four of these steps are fully removed. Each step eliminated from the process reduces the overall time required to get plates to press, getting the job to you more quickly.


Sharper Print Quality CTP allows printing presses to print cleaner and crisper images by way of eliminating dot gain in the prepress process. In a CTP workflow, first generation dots are imaged to the plate eliminating dot gain in prepress. This gives the press more capacity for printing higher ink densities resulting in richer, better saturated colours.


Better Registration CTP excludes the use of film negatives or positives. CTP plates are imaged on highly accurate plate setting equipment on aluminium substrates that are very resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Even imposed computer to film workflows cannot offer the accuracy and stability of registration that a CTP system can provide.
