CTP Technology Saving Money

Musselman, of Agfa, sees a widespread adoption of all-digital workflows utilizing CTP to make plates for offset presses within the next five years. Yet he says the impact of the CTP process will go far beyond simply the production of plates.

"With digital technologies transforming every facet of the communications industries, computer-to-plate will be an important tool used by printers to maintain the vitality of print communications while facilitating its use with other media," predicts Musselman.
