Since processing is completely digital, there are no variations between plates, which results in superior printing quality. CtP completely eliminates the need for film output and subsequent film to plate image transfer. A thermal CtP recorder uses a high-power near-infrared laser to image digital printing data onto specially processed aluminum-base printing plates. This has brought along several changes in This report also covers the impact of COVID-19 on the global market.ĬtP refers to the process of imaging digital printing data (created by a computer) directly onto a printing plate.
