CTP-G Double layer Thermal CTP Plate

The CTP-G double-layer thermal CTP plate is manufactured on modern, fully automated production lines. It has high sensitivity and resolution and is suitable for duplicating FM random screens up to 20 μm. It can be used for both packaging and commercial printing with or without UV inks. It is suitable for heatset and coldset web and sheet-fed presses, also for printing with metallic inks. CTP-G is compatible with the main developers on the market and has a very good development latitude.
