The printing revolution of double-layer thermal CTP plate (Thermal CTP Plate, Double Layer)

In the continuous evolution of printing technology, the double-layer thermal CTP plate (Thermal CTP Plate, Double Layer) is gradually becoming the new favorite of the printing industry with its excellent performance and efficient platemaking process.

The double-layer thermal CTP plate adopts advanced thermal imaging technology, and realizes the accurate distinction between the image and non-image parts through the change of the material state after the plate material absorbs heat. This platemaking method not only simplifies the cumbersome steps in the traditional platemaking process, but also greatly improves the platemaking efficiency. More importantly, the double-layer design makes the plate material more stable and durable, which can easily cope with the high-line printing requirements and ensure the stability and excellence of printing quality.

In terms of technical details, the double-layer thermal CTP plate uses a highly sensitive infrared laser generator, and the red laser with a wavelength of 830nm exposes the surface of the plate, so that the plate coating undergoes a thermochemical reaction and realizes the accurate transfer of image and text information. In this process, the unique formula of the thermal coating ensures that the chemical reaction is fast and complete, thereby greatly shortening the platemaking time. At the same time, the double-layer structure design makes the plate material less prone to wear during long-term use, and the print life can easily reach more than hundreds of thousands of prints. Even after the plate is baked, it can achieve a high print life of more than one million.

The application advantages of the double-layer thermal CTP plate in the printing industry are obvious. First of all, its wide adaptability enables it to meet the needs of different types of printed materials, whether it is commercial printing or newspaper printing, it can easily cope with it. At the same time, because the thermal CTP plate adopts infrared laser imaging technology, users can operate it in a bright room without worrying about the impact of light on the plate, thereby improving production efficiency and convenience of operation.

The double-layer thermal CTP plate also performs well in environmental protection. The traditional platemaking process often requires the use of a large amount of chemical solvents and flushing fluids, which not only pollutes the environment, but also increases production costs. The thermal CTP plate adopts a more environmentally friendly imaging method, reduces the use of chemical solvents, reduces wastewater discharge, and conforms to the current development trend of green printing.

With the continuous expansion of the global printing market and the continuous upgrading of printing technology, the market prospects of the double-layer thermal CTP plate are very broad. Especially today when digital workflows are becoming increasingly popular, double-layer thermal CTP plates have become the first choice for many printing companies due to their high efficiency, accuracy and environmental protection.
