CTP Positive PS Plate ECOO-PS Aluminum Newspaper Printing

Ⅰ. PS Plate (Photopolymer Plate):

• The PS Plate stands for Photopolymer Plate, which is commonly used in the offset printing process. In offset printing, the image to be printed is transferred from the plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing substrate (like paper).
• The PS Plate is often referred to as an analog plate because it’s created using traditional, analog processes (as opposed to digital plates, such as CTP plates used in more modern setups). Despite the rise of digital technologies, conventional plates like the EcooGraphix PS Plate are still in wide use due to their performance and cost-effectiveness.

Ⅱ. Offset/Lithographic Printing:

• Offset printing (or lithographic printing) is one of the most common printing methods for commercial and newspaper jobs. The EcooGraphix PS Plate is specifically designed for this application.
• The plate’s ability to transfer images accurately to the printing press and produce consistent results over long print runs is critical for commercial and newspaper applications, which typically involve large volumes of printed material.

Ⅲ. High Photosensitive Speed:

• One of the standout features of the EcooGraphix PS Plate is its high photosensitive speed. This means that the plate is highly sensitive to light (usually UV light) and can develop the image much faster than lower-speed plates.
• The faster photosensitive reaction allows for faster production in the pre-press process, reducing overall production time and improving workflow efficiency. This is particularly beneficial in commercial printing environments where speed is crucial to meet tight deadlines.

Ⅳ. Good Half-Tone Dot Reproduction:

• Half-tone dot reproduction is a measure of how accurately a printing plate can replicate different shades and tones. In lithographic printing, images are broken down into dots of varying sizes to simulate the full spectrum of colors and shades.
• The EcooGraphix PS Plate is designed to provide good half-tone dot reproduction, meaning it can create a smooth gradation of tones, from dark to light, with sharp, fine details. This is especially important in commercial printing, where high-quality images are often used, and newspaper printing, where text and images need to remain sharp and legible at smaller sizes.
• This ability to maintain fine dot integrity ensures that the printed images appear clear, crisp, and professional, even under the high-speed conditions of offset printing.

Ⅴ. Stable Performance:

• The plate offers stable performance throughout its use, which is a crucial factor in high-volume commercial and newspaper printing environments. Stability means that the plate maintains its image quality and printing capability consistently over many press runs without significant degradation.
• This stability reduces the need for frequent plate replacements, which enhances cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency for printers. It also ensures that each print job, whether it's a short run or a long run, will deliver consistent results, which is critical for maintaining the quality of printed materials over time.

Ⅵ. Unique Production Technology:

• The EcooGraphix PS Plate is produced using unique production technologies that optimize the raw materials and plate-making process. These advanced manufacturing methods result in plates that deliver superior performance, durability, and ease of use.
• The quality raw materials used in the plate construction contribute to the plate’s longevity, image quality, and resistance to wear and tear. These materials are carefully selected to ensure that the plate can withstand the physical demands of the printing process, including the mechanical stresses of the press and the chemical exposure to printing inks and solutions.

Ⅶ. Commercial and Newspaper Printing:

• Commercial Printing: In commercial print applications (such as catalogs, brochures, marketing materials), high-quality reproduction of color and detail is critical. The EcooGraphix PS Plate provides sharp, high-quality images and text, which is necessary for print jobs that demand excellent output for branding and advertising materials.
• Newspaper Printing: Newspaper printing often involves large, fast, and high-volume print runs. The EcooGraphix PS Plate performs well in this environment due to its durability and speed. It can maintain stable performance even with the quick turnaround times and the relatively coarse paper types commonly used in newspaper printing. Its ability to reproduce half-tone dots well ensures that text and images are crisp and legible on newsprint.

6. FAQ

1. Q: How long is the lead time?
A: The lead time is normally 45 days.

2. Q: Do you offer free plate samples?
A: Yes, we offer free testing samples maximum 12 pcs for each size but with delivery fee to collect.

3. Q: How do you guarantee stable quality?
A: There are 3 inpecting procedures: 1, automatic on-line 24h scanning detector; 2, random sampling per 15 mins at the producing line; 3, manually full inspection before packing. The production is mature. It is not a new product to us.

4. Q: Do you have accompanying plate making products to enable one-stand easy purchase for some end users?
A: Yes. CTP machine, processors, violet plate, CTP-CTCP plate, chemistry(fountain solution, roller wash, etc.) are all available to make your purchase more easily.

5. Q: Payment term?
A: Normally, 30% T/T deposit, 70% T/T before shipping, or LC at sight.

6. Q: Is refrigerating container necessary for shipment?
A: No. The plate is relatively stable and mature. So normal container is enough unless some ertreme hot situations.
