In printing industry, CTP (computer to plate) technology has been the focus of attention in recent years in the industry. Currently, it is the fastest growing areas of prepress plate-making, one of the most influential high-tech. Especially in the press area, CTP technology applications in Europe has entered a mature stage, Germany Newspaper Printing Have all adopted the CTP technology. In North America and Asia Pacific, newspaper CTP is entering maturity. In China, the newspaper application of CTP technology has gone through 10 years of history. But now, about 500 newspaper printing in China, only about 50 have a CTP device, CTP plates are just about the amount of total use version of our newspaper content of 10%. To report, restricting CTP bottleneck in the development of China's main newspaper CTP Plate Costs high, There is also substandard quality of CTP equipment reasons. Recently, the reporter on the situation of China's Newspaper CTP applications, interview the Working Committee of China Association of Newspapers Printing Consultants Xiatian Jun.
CTP background interview CTP was Computer toPlate acronym, the Chinese translation for computer-to-plate refers to the layout of information through computer graphics output to the printing plate directly on the process. CTP technology appeared in the 20th century, 80 years since, leading the fashion in the field of prepress plate-making. Xiatian Jun told reporters, Yangcheng Evening News in 1998, the Printing Center for the first time since the successful introduction of CTP equipment, application of the Chinese newspaper CTP technology has gone through 10 years. The past 10 years, the development of newspaper CTP Some Gully sill, but overall it went smoothly.
According to statistics, as of the end of September 2008, the Chinese press CTP's reserves amounted to 170 units. Xia Tianjun to journalists a statistics show that China has 2007 CTP equipment, printing about 50 newspapers, accounting for about 500 newspapers printing 1 / 10. 2007 CTP version of our country only the total amount of 7.5% of the amount used version. 2008, no amount of statistical CTP version, Xiatian Jun estimates this number will grow to nearly 10%.
Recent years, the newspaper CTP's installed capacity rising, and the explosive growth trend. Peking University Founder Electronics Co., Ltd. Lu Lan, director of newspaper product introduction, from 2005, with the major manufacturers Imagesetter The gradually discontinued, CTP equipment has begun to Explosive Growth. As the CTP plate stability with high efficiency, the advantages of easy operation, the current CTP has become the most suitable for the production of plate-making technology newspaper. Founder Electronics Co., the founding vice president of guests confirmed: "Our newspaper CTP device, in 2008, showing the trend of explosive growth. As of the end of September 2008, the Chinese press CTP's reserves amounted to 170 units. To Founder for example, the 2008 CTP equipment sales doubled three times higher than in the past. "he said, such a rapid growth, explaining the CTP market after nearly 10 years of brewing, has entered the mature stage of development. Bottleneck of the development cost of high use
Amount of China's press plates to more than 30 million a year. Which, CTP version of nearly 10% of the amount, that is 3 million. Why Newspaper CTP technology applications for 10 years and the amount of CTP version of only 10%? Xiatian Jun told reporters: "10 years we have been calling the newspaper printing using CTP equipment, but with slower progress. This is mainly because the price is too high CTP plate, in addition to some of the reasons for substandard quality of the equipment."
Xia Tianjun analysis: "Newspapers Printing CTP spend 5 million to buy equipment, one-time investment also recognized, but the latter part of the plate too costly. CTP plate just arrived in our country, prices are per square m 90 yuan to 100 yuan, which was common plate PS version Only 30 yuan per square meter, CTP plate 3 times the price of their. To tell the truth, equipment spend much to complain of a 2 million yuan, but with a version that daily consumption. If a printer had a one-year 100 000 PS version, now switch to CTP version, an increase of 200 million a year funding must. By projection, switch to 200 000 to spend 4 million yuan, to switch to 300 000 to spend six million yuan. Now with 300,000 a year in the printing plate number, plate piece of the cost is too difficult. Plate consumption is a continuous investment, so each had to spend, so that the entire production cost will go up. In this case, the speed CTP newspaper also follow the application down. "Xiatian Jun example, a newspaper printing equipment bought after the CTP, CTP plate as you, in order to control costs, factory version of the traditional version of the PS usually Edition, if you encounter special circumstances to use CTP version, even with a Zhang is also subject to manager approval.
