Ctp Solutions from Screen

PlateRite CtP Plate-setters

Screen’s current Computer to Plate (CtP) solution is marketed as the PlateRite series. Introduced more than 10 years ago the PlateRite series is well known and widely used in today's Printing industry.

Its success is based on the philosophy of making reliability and quality number 1 priority for production equipment. Today we can proudly say we have succeeded in delivering this and more to the market. The following technologies and qualities are the foundation of this success:

Optical control technology

Optics always has been one of the most important aspects of Screen's technological innovations, which started with its first wooden processing camera in the 1940s. Exposure laser technology has been used for CtP imaging, as well as direct pattern imaging of printed circuit boards. An accuracy level of ±1um can be achieved.

High-precision engineering

Screen’s philosophy has always been to turn technology into customer values and precision engineering lies at the heart of the whole process. Screen's CtP devices are completely manufactured at our factories in Kyoto, all of which have certified ISO quality management systems. The quality of our CtP devices rely on the consistency of production such systems offer.

Automation technology

Automation is one of the key points of any Screen device and this is achieved through a close integration of both hardware and software. Screen’s users can choose to automate their output devices from start to finish, including punching.
