Computer-to-plate (CtP) systems like PlateRite Niagara are capable of recording DTP digital data directly to plate for printing.
In conventional process, data is first output to film and then this film is used for exposing printing plate.—CtP removes these steps, decreasing plate making cost and increasing processing speed.
In addition, CtP enables the digital data created at the design stage to be exposed directly to the printing plate with high accuracy. This can eliminates troubles that frequently happen in the conventional processes which has many steps before the original data to be exposed on to the printing plate.
