Computer-To-Plate for Small Format Offset Presses using toner-based imaging technology for platemaking is a mouthful in itself. There are many issues to consider.

A System For CTP Is Broken Down to 3 Specific Areas:

•	Printing
•	Prepress Preparation
•	Platemaking

PrePress Preparation
Job preparation is done by your customer or in-house. Scanning, typeface selection, use of tints and blends, line screen selection and job layout, plus the programs used to do all these things are major considerations and affect the outcome greatly. We'll help you manage this with our technical experience and phone support.

Platemaking
The actual plates you use plus the device you use to image the plates, whether it be a copier or laser printer determine whether this system will work for you. We provide the latest plate technology as it is developed and it is getting better and better. Choosing the right laser printer and then setting it up right for making printing plates is also part of our support.

Printing
There are a number of things that need to be attended to with small format presses in order to take advantage of the many benefits this system offers. Press condition is important. The right choice of inks and press chemistry drastically effects the outcome of the printed job. We can help you with every step involved to make this work for you.
