| Authors | |
| Abstract | Up to now CtP has been a technology for medium-sized and large companies and their printing presses, and thus predominantly in the 70 x 100 cm format and larger. The CtP technology is and remains divided up between violet and thermo, with the advantages and drawbacks of both imaging systems in a counterbalance. Due to the broad penetration of CtP in many markets, practical questions have now come to the fore, including those of continuous process control and quality assurance; providers and specialist forums on these topics will also hold centre stage at drupa. This applies equally to frequency-modulated screening processes, which are today well known and are viewed as a means for ensuring a competitive edge. The CtP technology is now broader and more diverse than ever, and drupa 2004 will clarify which technology and which imagers best allow economical digital plate production for formats up to 50 x 70 cm. |
