CTP is not limited to special size magazines or books. It has penetrated into various applications. CTP has become a universal tool for any type of operation.
BLP Print Solutions is a member of the field who has won multiple awards for his innovative insights and passion for problem solving. The company believes that the difference between them and other traditional printers lies in the experience and experience of the IT industry and logistics, which has helped them increase the scope of services, including commercial printing, direct mail services and packaging services.
Initially, the company's prepress center was powered by a Mac drive, a B2-sized Linotronic 460 imagesetter, who could manually make plates for Cromarting proofing. In 1998 they introduced a B1 size Signasetter Pro, but still used film. The experience of the B1 size Signasetter Pro laid the foundation for their good introduction of the CTP process. Because they use UV printers, baking plates are often needed.
FAQ Technical Director Stephen Dobinson said: “We use UV printers, so we need to bake. The B1 Signasetter Pro platesetter allows us to convert Capricorn plates into Fuji VPU plates, which are not needed. Baking also solves many common problems in UV printing production, such as downtime, baking gray, etc."
“The VUP plate can save us 20 hours of on-board production time per month, and can reduce the wastage rate of the plate. After deciding to introduce the CTP process, how to adapt well to the original digital process and the production methods on the printing press become It's very important."
Mr. Dobinson added: "First of all, this is just to avoid bottlenecks, not clear them."
Fuji Stephen's technical expert Mark Stephenson said: "The CTP system evaluation is very important, because the newly installed equipment must be well integrated with the original system, including the phototypewriter and proofer. We should improve the photosetter Instead of simply replacing them, to better adapt to electronic processes and train employees, the entire workflow not only allows BLP to produce plates more efficiently, but also includes films, digital proofs, and more."
"The system must be part of the thermal technology because we are using a UV printer. There are also a lot of practical issues concerning the placement of the platesetter."
Fujifilm's solution "BLP chose Fujifilm's solution because of its experience with VPU plates, and they knew that the Brillia plates were also used in other vendors' CTP systems."
Fujifilm strongly recommends the Luxel T-9000CTP plate-making machine because it guarantees consistent plate quality, does not require baking, and uses the Valiano Rampage Rip. Once RIP, multiple output. RIP-compatible Postscript 3 can also drive folio, four- and eight-port image-setters, plate-making machines and a variety of output devices from other manufacturers.
Mr. Dobinson said: “In the United States, Rampage is widely used in the editing of brochures, and many users are considering starting to use it. This means that we produce more and more booklets. This kind of RIP also allows us to continue Use our carton production software to continue to serve our packaging customers."
After Blp conducted a series of 16 months of testing of multiple plates on a series of thermal devices, they decided to use T-9000, a thermal CTP device. In two weeks, they successfully integrated the new system with the original process and plate.
Dobinson said: "Using the Rampage process means that we have an open work platform, so the newly installed system can support the original equipment. This means that we can integrate all devices, whether Agfa or Linotype or Canon's products.
“Our goal with the CTP process is to produce plates that can be used for printing in the shortest possible time. Since the introduction of CTP, our platemaking time has been greatly reduced. This is critical to our production conditions because For India and India, which have fewer than 100,000 print jobs, material management and production requirements are conditional on time."
"This is the reason that we decided to abandon the use of plates that require baking, thermal CTP has further promoted this development."
The ability to punch holes in online plates and generate CIP3 data in RIP can help users better implement color management. In terms of print quality, the thermal plate can accept more ink, which means that the smooth curve of the vignette can be guaranteed, even for B1 size sheets. Compared to the material obtained by the CTP process, the curve of the text may cause some troubles for various levels of materials. However, for all types of products, BLP companies strive to obtain consistent and consistent quality, and customers also accept their services.
If the BLP company is not representative enough, then John Price & Sons at the Bilston printing plant represents the situation of many printing houses in the UK.
John Price & Sons, a medium-sized printing company based in Bilston, has grown in size. They used a five-color B2 printer and a SRA2 four-color printer to produce commercial prints, which were highly praised for quality. They can carry out various post-press processing in their own factories, including cutting, creasing, folding, bookbinding, and cutting.
All-digital operations have recently focused more on prepress. Over the past three years, the prepress process has shifted from film-based operations to today's all-digital operations.
David Harris entered the company four years ago and is currently the manager of the system department responsible for monitoring the entire process. David Harris said: "As with other printers, John Price started using film. Now that there are five people in our prepress department, the direct reason for adopting a fully digital process is the introduction of the CTP process."
Finally, John Price selected Esko-Graphics' latest PlateDriver platemaking machine and became the first printing factory in the UK to install this device, effectively witnessing Esko-Graphics' third-generation CTP equipment. The device has won the attention of the public due to its outstanding plate-making speed and quality, and it has also made breakthroughs in many other aspects, with multiple functions.
Mr. Harris's purchase has been perfect, he has almost examined the equipment of all the manufacturers on the market, and the deepest impression left by PlateDriver is its flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
With the continuous development of technology, PlateDriver can be equipped with any of the four lasers to suit silver salt, thermal and polyester plates. Laser options include violet laser diodes, argon ions, FD-Yag, and thermal lasers with a wavelength of 1064 nm. Each laser correction can be done in the field, with a variety of imaging speeds, and can also be applied to a variety of media from many other manufacturers.
Mr. Harris decided to continue the thermal route because he pursues quality rather than speed. He said: "If we want to replace the violet laser or other systems after 12 months, we do have many options to consider."
Three months after installing the new equipment, Mr. Harris no longer had doubts about the speed of the system. John Price's fully-automated four-platemaking equipment can produce 16 to 20 plates per hour at resolutions up to a resolution of 3175 dpi. The CTP process has changed from the design department to the printing house and from Film to plate production process. Harris said: “With the PlateDriver platesetter, the plate was obtained in two days more than we had in the past week. In fact, for one or two plants, the PlateDriver can fully meet its printer's throughput of one day.â€
The work of any platemaking machine precedes the printing press. Today, the time requirements for on-demand plate making are becoming more demanding, and PlateDriver allows users to effectively handle a variety of emergencies. If the operator temporarily finds scratches on the plate, he can make it again. PlateDriver stores data in bitmap format, and it takes only 5 minutes from the time the command is received to obtain another plate.
Harris believes that Esko-Graphics not only provided them with a CTP system, but also brought them a complete set of process solutions. Esko-Graphics has successfully developed the FlowDrive system, which can not only handle workflows, but also can make layouts and plate punches to meet the requirements of the press. This is a versatile system that allows networked operations.
Mr. Harris spent two days at Esko-Graphics Corp. receiving training on the FlowDrive system and learning how to operate the PlateDriver platesetter for a day and a half. Harris then brought his knowledge back to John Price to train his staff. He thought everything was simple and he even thought how anyone who could teach the machine could do it.
The truly open interface "FlowDrive system uses a drop-down interface, it is easy to grasp. But PlateDriver does not necessarily need FlowDrive system, because it has a truly open interface, can be inserted into any set of operating systems, such as Heidelberg, match Angels or other manufacturers. At BLP, this is well documented and connected directly to Creo's proofer through a simple interface plate maker."
PlateDrive can work automatically overnight and is accurate in color. This is due to the design of the cartridge, which has five cartridges that can hold 100 printing plates. PlateDrive also cleverly solved the problem of backup storage.
At the bottom of the PlateDriver device is a storage area where hundreds of backup plates are placed waiting for imaging without interrupting the normal production process. According to Keith Davison, sales manager at Esko-Graphics, this is a detail that other manufacturers often overlook. He said: "This may seem like a minor problem, but when you want to continuously make 500 copies and truly unattended, this feature is very important."
He said: "The built-in roller imagesetter has many advantages in design. The most important point is the built-in plate punch registration system." This may not be very important, but in order to get the best printing plate, we need Accurate plate punching. â€
Because the image formation of the printing plate is synchronized with the punching of the printing plate, the printing plate can be perfectly registered during preparation of the printing job. Both machines in the John Price plant were semi-automatically loaded. Mr. Harris reported that each machine's job preparation time was reduced by 25 minutes, and paper wastage was reduced by 10%.
