浅谈CTP和CTcP

A Discussion on CTP and CTcP

近几年,随着CTP板材、CTP制版机和辅助设备功能的完善以及价格的下降,计算机直接制版技术在国内正在加速推广,但所用的版材价格仍然远高于一般的PS版,成为CTP大量推广应用的瓶颈;CTcP采用的版材是传统的PS版,可以解决这个问题。但是终究进入市场不久,尚待用户更多考核,相比之下,CTP还是更为成熟、可靠。本文论述这两种系统的特性,供选用时参考。

During recent years, following the improvement of CTP equipment and relevant printing plate and decreasing of their price, CTP technology has been quickly expanding in our country, but its specific printing plate still costs much higher than common PS plate, thus becoming the bottle neck of it expanding. As CTcP needs only conventional PS plate thus presenting a solution of this problem; but being a newly emerged system, CTcP still needs more evaluation of users. As a comparison, normal CTP seems to be more mature and reliable. This paper expounds the characteristics of these two systems for thorough consideration.
