    The document provides information about computer-to-plate (CTP) and computer-to-film (CTF) printing processes. It defines CTP as directly outputting images from a computer to printing plates, eliminating film, while CTF involves printing from a computer to film then burning the film onto plates. It also gives details about a CTF machine model, CTP platesetter models, and provides examples of products made using these processes.

    INTRODUCTION

    Computer-to-plate is the process of transferring digital data from computers directly onto
    printing plates, hence the term computer-to-plate. This process eliminates the need for film
    and chemical proofs by utilising PDF files. Contract quality digital proofs are produced for
    colour matching.

    Computer to Film (CTF) is a print workflow involving the printing from a computer,straight to
    film.This film is then burned onto a lithographic plate, using a plate burner.The plate is then
    put on an offset printing press to make a product (usually thousands of copies). This process
    requires a clean environment, skilled workers, and a well thought out proofing system /
    workflow to maximize quality.
    What is CTF?
     CTF is computer to film.
     The brand of this machine is Kodak, Fuji and now we are using Mega film.
     The characteristic of this machine is Pancromatic film and sensitive in light.

    What is

     The biggest size in CTF is 24 inch and the length is 60 meter.


     The image setter is combined with image processor.
     Screen Katana

    Example of product.
     Magazine
     Packaging
     Brochure
     Flyers
     Poster
     Go stamping

    Workflow for CTF.


     Layout or artwork(Ilustrator and indesign)
     The format that can be use in CTF is forscript file and PDF file.
     It transfer to software color separation RIP501 PC and the cost is 40000.
     Inside the software there is separation color CMYK and then transfer to image
    setter(Screen Katana) Made in Japan.
     There is 5 chapter in it where image radiate light in dots.
     Secondly, it will hard if hit by the lights and no response.
     The film processor can be divided into 4 ;
    Firstly is developer, fixer, water and drying.

    What is CTP?
     CTP means Computer to Plate is an imaging technology used in modern printing
    processes.
     In this technology, an image created in a Desktop Publishing (DTP) application is
    output directly to a printing plate.
     CTP involves two components the plate and the platesetter, as well as the computer
    hardware and software to run the system.
     The platesetter receives the image from the computer and imparts it onto the plate.
    The plate then has the image that is printed onto the substrate.
     A CTP platesetter uses a laser to change the coating on the plate either physically or
    chemically.
     There are two main types of CTP platesetters, thermal and visible light referring to
    the type of laser technology used.
     Thermal CTP technology changes the plate physically by either hardening the image
    areas or removing the non-image areas known as ablation.
     Visible light CTP technology, commonly referred to as violet CTP, changes the plate
    chemically and the coating in the non-image area is washed from the plate.
     As the traditional process, a separate is made for wach color to be used on the
    press.
