Since 2007, CTP has begun to install large capacity in China, but in the European market, it has been a very mature technology, reaching more than 90% of the installed capacity. Therefore, unlike China's exhibition, CTP is no longer the protagonist at Drupa 2008. However, according to the domestic development situation, we still summarize some of the CTP products on Drupa. The following six aspects will explain the future CTP development direction.
Start the battle of environmental protection supplies
Environmental protection has become the responsibility and obligation of human beings, and this time in Druba, environmental protection plates have become a trump card played by many manufacturers.
Agfa: Agfa launched a number of environmentally friendly chemical-free CTP plates at the drupa, including the thermal plate Green Star: Azura TS and the purple laser plate: Aspire. Green Star Edition: Azura TS is: Azura's upgraded product. Upgraded: Azura TS can significantly increase the production capacity of each heat-sensitive plate-making machine by combining a glue cleaning unit and a more sensitive coating. : Aspire is a chemical-free plate produced by Agfa this time for the purple laser CTP. Violet laser CTP has gradually entered the market in the past two years because of its low energy consumption. The introduction of chemical-free plate materials has increased the environmental protection of the purple laser CTP and will further promote the development of the purple laser CTP technology.
Fujifilm: Fujifilm demonstrated the environmentally friendly chemical-free violet laser version of Brillia HD Pro-V at this year's drupa, and it also displayed the Brillia HD series of thermally-free processing materials on its booth.
Chengdu Xintu: The most worth mentioning is the Chengdu Xintu company that China went to the exhibition. They exhibited a Fit ECO non-preheating physical environmental thermal negative CTP version. The reason why it is called physical environmental protection is because many chemical-free plates still need to be glued or washed at the end of the production process, and this plate also completely eliminates these two processes, and does not produce any waste liquid in the entire plate-making process. .
Kodak: Kodak also exhibited the environmental protection plate THERMAL DIRECT printing plate without preheating positive plate technology.
Speed ​​to a higher level
Speaking of the speed of plate making, Kodak is the star of Drupa's CTP. Kodak introduced the fastest Magnus 800 plate-making machine for the newspaper industry at this year's drupa-capable of producing 60 8-open plates per hour. It uses a brand-new thermal imaging head, which can increase the laser emission power to twice the original. When processing Kodak Thermal Direct processing-free plates, the speed of Magnus 800Z can reach 35 plates / hour.
Highlights of power saving
ECRM CTP has always been a model of energy saving and consumption reduction. At this year's drupa, ECRM launched the new purple laser CTP plate-making machine MAKO CTP, whose energy consumption is only equivalent to three 100W bulbs. For some commercial printing companies, using an ECRM plate-making machine can save more than $ 1,000 in energy consumption per year.

Inkjet CTP plate-making emerging darling
In this drupa, Inkjet inkjet plate making has also become a fashion. JetPlate Systems demonstrated the iSetter series of products live. The JetPlate CTP system is developed on the basis of the Epson Stylus Color 3000 inkjet printer. It improves the transmission device so that the positioning accuracy of the printing plate reaches ± 0.05mm, and is printed on the printing plate with a special plate-making ink called liquid light. This plate-making ink chemically reacts with the coating applied on the aluminum plate base to fix it on the aluminum plate. After development, the non-graphic part of the coating is removed, and then the plate fixing process is obtained to be used on the machine. Printing plate. The imaging resolution of the JetPlate CTP system is 2880dpi, which is equivalent to 175 lines / inch. It can print 15 editions per hour. After two baking editions, the printing resistance can reach 100,000 impressions.
In addition, British FFei Company and Indian TechNova Company both exhibited inkjet CTP plates in their booths.
Chinese independent brand CTP unveiled at Drupa
At this year's drupa, China has a number of independent brand CTP debut. Corey Laser demonstrated the "Lei Pa" CTP system available for its chemical-free plates with independent intellectual property rights, Founder showed its "Diaolong" purple laser CTP, and Huaguang Precision also showed the latest CTP products.

Bigger, faster and more environmentally friendly
Heidelberg launched a new version of the Speedmaster CTP at this year's drupa, its largest format is the Speedmaster 162. The new generation of Speedmaster CTP has greater production capacity, more flexible operation, and is equipped with many new functional modules. The new laser diode used has increased its power by nearly 60%, and its maximum plate-making speed can reach 38 sheets per hour.
Agfa Graphics exhibited a new generation of Dragon AvalonN series. The size of N36 printing plate can reach 2100 × 1600mm. The medium format N8 can produce up to 50 printing plates per hour, using a new generation of GLV (grating imaging technology) based 1024 beam laser imaging head.
