CTP Why Are You Waiting?

Reducing the need for a processor naturally makes for a smaller footprint, another advantage in-plants might consider when evaluating CTP options.

Desktop CTP

Another alternative to full blown CTP for in-plants doing short runs is a desktop device that allows printing on paper or polyester plate, like the PlateMaker 4 from Xanté. Plates from the two-up, 13-3⁄8x19-7⁄8˝ machine are designed for printers with portrait presses.
