Model: BLF-CTP
The thermal CTP plate is a high-quality printing plate specialized for thermal CTP platesetter, It is directly scanned by 830nm laser controlled by computer and put on press for printing after developing.
The sensitive layer of themal CTP plate is structure and it makes the dot edge which is formed with laser scanning more sharp and suitable for high-end commercial color printing.
Thermal CTP plate takes use of the fine aluminum plate with complex grain construction and dense oxidized layer as its substrate which was processed with a special method. It not only ensures the adhesion of the thermal coating to the aluminum plate, but also makes the plate possessing excellent run length and exact dot reproduction to guarantee high quality printing.
The printing plate is imaged and processed under day-light condition without additional dark room, which can be easier and more comfortable to operators.
thermal CTP plate can be compatible with various thermal CTP platesetters available in current market.
