A Look at the Technologies and Markets used for the Computer to Plate (CtP) within the Printing Industry.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland Ireland, Irish Eire (âr`ə) [to it are related the poetic Erin and perhaps the Latin Hibernia], island, 32,598 sq mi (84,429 sq km), second largest of the British Isles. -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35568) has announced the addition of Introduction to the Computer to Plate Market to their offering. This paper examines the computer to plate (CtP) technology used within the printing industry, a technology becoming increasingly important as this industry adopts digital workflows In print publishing, using the computer to lay out text and illustrations prior to creating film negatives for every page or going directly to plate. Prior to digital workflow, the typesetting and pre-press stages were far more time consuming and labor-intensive. from job creation and ordering through to final delivery of the printed job. In the commercial printing and newspaper industries, the major development in digital output in the past few years has been CtP. This technology has been going through a rapid level of adoption. CtP is the final step in a digital workflow for both offset and flexographic printing. This paper looks at the technology background, markets, drivers and supplies material for CtP technology. Topics Covered --Introduction --Computer-to-Plate Technologies --UV and Inkjet See inkjet printer. Imaging --CtP on Polyester polyester, synthetic fiber, produced by the polymerization of the product formed when an alcohol and organic acid react. The outstanding characteristic of polyesters is their ability to resist wrinkling and to spring back into shape when creased. Plates --Thermal Imaging --Visible Light Imaging --CtP Imaging for Flexo --Imaging Resolutions --The CtP Hardware Market --Primary CtP Suppliers --CtP Printing Plates --Pricing Levels --History of the CtP Market --Conclusion For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35568 |
