The benefits that CTP platesetters bring to printing companies are becoming more apparent. When companies have come to grips with the CTP machine, how to choose CTP has become an urgent matter. It is necessary to have the right price and stable performance. After the price is right and the performance is stable, we hope to improve the benefits... In the face of so many demands, how do you choose so many brands? Aspects to consider.
Photosensitive or thermal
In general, companies that require high color quality, such as commercial printing (books, magazines, pictorials), and packaging plants, should use heat-sensitive products; light-sensitive products are suitable for high-speed production units with low requirements for color quality, such as newspapers. Thermal CTP plate is relatively cheap, currently at 35 to 50 yuan / square meter; photosensitive plate is relatively expensive, about 55 yuan / square meter. From the market share, the use of heat-sensitive. With the development of technology, the speed of thermal CTP machines has also improved. For example, Kodak's Chaosheng 400 can already achieve a production speed of 42 plates per hour.
What speed to choose
The speed should be considered based on the actual conditions of the factory. With the CTP machine, there is no need to print, and the possibility of inaccurate printing plates is almost zero. To estimate how many copies per day are required, how many more prints will be made and how many hours the CTP will work with the printing press. Combined with the consideration of business development, speed selection will come out. On the market, 16 CPM, 22 CPM, 30/40, and even higher CTP machines are available, but choosing a high speed requires more money.
Format
Four-way, side-by-side, full-open, large-format, and even super-large format (for example, Kodak XLF models: 1296mm*2260mm) CTP machines are available. The choice of format should take into account the factors of imposition.
Network quality
The quality of the outlets must be carefully examined. The outlets are composed of laser dots. Learn more about the differences and characteristics of the GLV laser technology and the "square spot" laser technology. FM network is a concern for many printing companies, focusing on whether it can be used in large-scale production of FM network, the process is stable, whether it is necessary to continuously adjust the printing conditions to achieve, there is no ready-made model users?
About workflow
From computer "pages" to "layouts," the workflow determines the efficiency and cost of the platemaking process. Ask your CTP solution provider your concerns and see if their processes can help you. For example: Can traps be automatically completed? Can the file format be accepted? I have ICC features for 4 different printers, can the process accept them and automatically guide publication?
About the brand
Brands are not only well-known, but brands need connotation. Market share, service characteristics (such as the number of engineering technicians, distribution, whether there is Internet-based remote support and diagnostic services, training services, after-sales services, etc.), equipment operation stability, user reputation, ROI calculation, technology development Potential, these are the brand factors to consider. In general, companies invest in purchasing CTPs to dig deeper into the production potential of the printing press (letting the printer stop printing more and more printing), or to improve the printing quality, or to establish and improve the operating standards and specifications of prepress and printing. The entire company's color management and quality control system, again or that are all three, and other, huh, huh. It is important to choose what you want before you choose, and clarify the purpose. The investigation will be targeted and the effect and efficiency will be good.
