CTP Solution--Crio (I)

High quality, high efficiency, high efficiency - Creo CTP solution

A. CTP solutions for newspaper printers

Creo Thermal Computer Direct Imaging (CTP) technology has caused a revolution in newspaper printing. Newspaper printing companies of all sizes are undergoing a transition from analog to digital printing, and experience how thermal CTP and newspaper printing workflow systems can optimize production processes, such as significantly lowering prepress costs while improving print quality.

Creo thermal CTP technology eliminates manual labor, imposition tools, and imagesetters that are necessary for filming and platemaking in an analog fashion. Each thermal plate produced by the Creo platesetter is a digital image obtained by a single direct exposure. Since the film is omitted, the variable factors in the process are eliminated. The picture, text and lines thus copied are consistent and overprinting is accurate. Creo's SQUAREspot Square Point Accurate Imaging technology truly enables long-run printing. The production speed of the CTP and the high efficiency of the Creo workflow have delayed the deadline for newspapers, and even breaking news can be reported.

Creo Thermal Press CTP: Witness to Value

Creo's Trendsetter Press thermal platesetter introduced the quality, speed, and consistency of thermal imaging into the newspaper printing industry. It is capable of high-speed imaging, with automatic versioning and down-scaling capabilities, and a standard file format interface that can be effortlessly connected to most newspaper production systems. There are four models (70, 100, 150, 200) of Trendsetter’s CTP direct platemaking machine series, users can choose the right solution according to actual needs. No matter which kind of scheme, can reduce the cost effectively, bring the greater production flexibility for newspaper printing factories of various scales, this is extremely precious to today's newspaper printing enterprise.

The quality of the printing plate made by the thermal imaging technology is unique in the high-speed newspaper CTP system. The network points it obtains are highly accurate and consistent. The tone stability during repetitive AM screening is high, and FM screening can be performed to obtain rich colors. With its square spot imaging, Trendsetter’s CTP platesetter has given newspaper printing houses greater flexibility in production. In addition to conventional newspaper printing, the output plate can also print high value-added advertising inserts. Better visual effects create the greatest advertising benefits for advertisers and create greater profit margins for companies.

The printing plates made with the TRENDSETTER CTP system maintain extremely high registration accuracy from the time of imaging. The unique temperature compensation system automatically corrects for plate tension and shrinkage caused by temperature changes. The three-point registration system tracks the plate edge by imaging lasers so that it always maintains accurate registration. Due to the high accuracy of registration, the plate after repeated copying can also be fully registered, regardless of which device is used to replicate the same, regardless of location.

The upper and lower versions of Trendsetter’s CTP have been fully automated. Therefore, changing the plate size or converting the double plate is very simple. It can be replaced manually or the large format plate can be placed on the original plate. Without manual adjustment, the entire victory can be handled automatically.

The Triumph Newspaper CTP platesetter adopts an open interface, which can easily adapt to different users' prepress environment and connect various front-end newspaper typesetting systems. The control software on the printing console can accept the standard TIFF file format used by most workflows.

B. CTP solutions for commercial printers

When judging which type of printing business in the printing industry is the most tired person, the answer is undoubtedly the group of people doing commercial printing. The customer's demand for quality is getting higher and higher, the construction period is being tightened more and more, the profit is shrinking day by day, and you are feeling irritated when you look at the hair that is less than that day by day. This is the wrong direction of investment.

Of course not! The annual growth rate of commercial printing in China far exceeds that of other prints. The profit return is also higher than that of packaging printing. As long as it can provide excellent quality printed products and personalized personalized services, I believe that you must have a way to be fierce. Gain a firm foothold in the market competition.

Creo is the world's largest prepress equipment supplier and the largest installed base of computer-to-plate equipment worldwide. In the face of different requirements, customers of different sizes, Creo has a variety of CTPs and workflows to choose from.
