Product Description:
Thermal CTP (Computer-to-Plate) plates are high-quality printing plates designed for computer-to-plate
systems and widely used in offset printing plate-making processes. Made with premium aluminum substrates (1050/1060 aluminum) and thermal-sensitive coating, these plates can be directly imaged by thermal CTP setters. This eliminates traditional film output and contact exposure processes, helping printing companies improve plate-making efficiency, optimize print quality, and reduce overall production costs.
We offer thermal CTP plates in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, and performance grades. Custom cutting is available, with a maximum width of up to 1500 mm. Our plates are suitable for sheet-fed offset presses, web offset presses, and various commercial printing equipment. Whether you are a small or medium-sized commercial printer or a large-scale packaging printing company, we can provide the most suitable plate solution for your needs.
Size Options
Plate thickness: 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.30 mm, and other commonly used thicknesses
Sensitive wavelength: 830 nm infrared laser
Resolution: Supports 200-250 lpi
Available formats: Covers mainstream printing industry sizes, including A3, A2, B3, B2, half-sheet, quarter-sheet, full-sheet, etc.
Custom sizes: Non-standard sizes can be cut according to customer requirements to match different printing press and CTP setter formats, reducing material waste.
Product Advantages
1. Premium Aluminum Substrate and High-Quality Graining Process
Made from high-quality aluminum alloy substrates, the plates feature electrochemical graining, anodizing, and sealing processes. The graining is fine and uniform, while the coating adheres firmly to the aluminum base.
The plates offer excellent hydrophilic performance, enabling fast establishment of ink-water balance on press and reducing start-up paper waste. They are also resistant to scratches and chemical solvents, helping prevent scumming and plate blinding during printing.
2. High-Precision Dot Reproduction and Outstanding Print Quality
Compatible with 830 nm infrared thermal lasers, the plates provide sharp imaging and accurate dot reproduction. They can consistently achieve high-resolution output of 200-250 lpi.
Fine text, small dots, highlight dots, shadow details, and gradient transitions are reproduced clearly. The strong contrast between image and non-image areas ensures excellent color consistency for demanding printing applications such as catalogs, books, packaging, and posters. This reduces dot loss, dot deformation, plate remakes, and overall production downtime.
3. Excellent UV Ink Compatibility
With a unique dual-layer coating structure, our thermal CTP plates are suitable for UV ink printing. UV inks and metallic inks can be used without baking the plates, fully meeting the requirements of the packaging market for specialty ink printing.
4. Fast Ink-Water Balance and Reduced Ink Consumption
The plates provide excellent ink-water balance and can reduce ink consumption compared with standard printing plates. They enable faster color matching and improved printing efficiency while reducing paper and ink waste.
5. Excellent CTP Setter Compatibility
Compatible with all mainstream 830 nm thermal CTP setters on the market, our plates have been verified on most external-drum thermal CTP machines. They can be handled under daylight conditions, making operation convenient and efficient.
6. Superior Chemical Resistance and Stability
Advanced multi-layer graining and dual-layer coating technologies provide excellent resistance to chemicals commonly used in printing workshops, as well as scratches and mechanical wear. Even when printing on low-quality paper or in demanding chemical environments, the plates maintain consistent, high-quality printing performance.
Suitable Applications
Commercial color printing: Catalogs, brochures, posters, flyers, and promotional materials
Book and publication printing: Books, journals, magazines, educational materials, and textbooks
Packaging printing: Folding cartons, corrugated packaging, paper boxes, and shopping bags
Labels and forms: Self-adhesive labels, instruction manuals, invoices, tickets, and other offset-printed forms
Target customers: Small, medium, and large printing companies, digital print service providers, and plate output centers
