Thermal CTP Plates in Various Sizes for Printing Applications

Thermal CTP (Computer-to-Plate) plates are high-quality printing plates
designed for computer-to-plate systems and widely used in offset printing
plate-making processes. Made with premium aluminum substrates (1050/1060
aluminum) and thermal-sensitive coating, these plates can be directly imaged by
thermal CTP setters. This eliminates traditional film output and contact
exposure processes, helping printing companies improve plate-making efficiency,
optimize print quality, and reduce overall production costs.
We offer thermal CTP plates in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, and
performance grades. Custom cutting is available, with a maximum width of up to
1500 mm. Our plates are suitable for sheet-fed offset presses, web offset
presses, and various commercial printing equipment. Whether you are a small or
medium-sized commercial printer or a large-scale packaging printing company, we
can provide the most suitable plate solution for your needs.
Size Options
Plate thickness: 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.30 mm, and other commonly used
thicknesses
Sensitive wavelength: 830 nm infrared laser
Resolution: Supports 200-250 lpi
Available formats: Covers mainstream printing industry sizes, including A3,
A2, B3, B2, half-sheet, quarter-sheet, full-sheet, etc.
Custom sizes: Non-standard sizes can be cut according to customer requirements
to match different printing press and CTP setter formats, reducing material
waste.
Product Advantages
1. Premium Aluminum Substrate and High-Quality Graining Process
Made from high-quality aluminum alloy substrates, the plates feature
electrochemical graining, anodizing, and sealing processes. The graining is
fine and uniform, while the coating adheres firmly to the aluminum base.
The plates offer excellent hydrophilic performance, enabling fast establishment
of ink-water balance on press and reducing start-up paper waste. They are also
resistant to scratches and chemical solvents, helping prevent scumming and
plate blinding during printing.
2. High-Precision Dot Reproduction and Outstanding Print Quality
Compatible with 830 nm infrared thermal lasers, the plates provide sharp
imaging and accurate dot reproduction. They can consistently achieve high-
resolution output of 200-250 lpi.
Fine text, small dots, highlight dots, shadow details, and gradient transitions
are reproduced clearly. The strong contrast between image and non-image areas
ensures excellent color consistency for demanding printing applications such as
catalogs, books, packaging, and posters. This reduces dot loss, dot
deformation, plate remakes, and overall production downtime.
3. Excellent UV Ink Compatibility
With a unique dual-layer coating structure, our thermal CTP plates are suitable
for UV ink printing. UV inks and metallic inks can be used without baking the
plates, fully meeting the requirements of the packaging market for specialty
ink printing.
4. Fast Ink-Water Balance and Reduced Ink Consumption
The plates provide excellent ink-water balance and can reduce ink consumption
compared with standard printing plates. They enable faster color matching and
improved printing efficiency while reducing paper and ink waste.
5. Excellent CTP Setter Compatibility
Compatible with all mainstream 830 nm thermal CTP setters on the market, our
plates have been verified on most external-drum thermal CTP machines. They can
be handled under daylight conditions, making operation convenient and
efficient.
6. Superior Chemical Resistance and Stability
Advanced multi-layer graining and dual-layer coating technologies provide
excellent resistance to chemicals commonly used in printing workshops, as well
as scratches and mechanical wear. Even when printing on low-quality paper or in
demanding chemical environments, the plates maintain consistent, high-quality
printing performance.
