Computer to plate (CTP) is an imaging technology used in modern printing processes. This compares with the older technology, Computer to film (CTF), where the computer file is output onto a photographic film. CTP has several advantages over conventional platemaking. In CTP, one entire generation (transfer of film image to the printing plate) is removed from the printing process, increasing sharpness and detail. Plates are produced in less time and more consistently, eliminating the possibility of misregistration. CTP ensures better registration, and image-to-edge repeatability than traditional methods.
