1+9 CTP Developer for Thermal CTP Plates

Triwill Group supplies specialist 1+9 CTP developer formulated for developing thermal CTP plates used in commercial offset printing. The 1+9 dilution ratio refers to the working dilution of developer concentrate to water, producing the developer bath used in automatic CTP plate processors. Our 1+9 CTP developer is engineered for reliable, consistent plate development with thermal CTP plate systems in commercial offset prepress operations.

Consistent CTP plate development is critical to producing high-quality, press-ready printing plates. Triwill Group’s 1+9 CTP developer is formulated to deliver reliable, consistent development of thermal CTP plates within the typical processing parameters of commercial CTP plate processors.

Key Features:

• 1+9 Working Dilution: Formulated for use at 1+9 dilution (1 part concentrate to 9 parts water) in automatic CTP plate processors.
• Thermal CTP Compatible: Specifically developed for processing thermal CTP plates used in commercial offset printing.
• Consistent Development: Engineered for reliable, consistent plate development within standard CTP processor parameters.
• Press-Ready Plates: Produces clean, sharp plate images ready for mounting and printing on commercial offset presses.
• Commercial Press Suitable: Developed for use in commercial CTP plate making operations.

Triwill Group’s 1+9 CTP developer is the reliable plate processing chemical for UK commercial offset printers using thermal CTP plate systems in their prepress operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CTP developer and what does it do?

A CTP developer is a chemical solution used in CTP plate processors to develop the latent image created by the CTP platesetter on a photosensitive printing plate. The developer removes the non-image areas of the plate coating, leaving the image areas intact ready for offset printing. Triwill Group’s 1+9 CTP developer is formulated for thermal CTP plate systems.

What does CTP mean in printing?

CTP stands for Computer-to-Plate. It refers to the process of imaging printing plates directly from digital data using a CTP platesetter, without the need for film. CTP is the standard plate making process in modern commercial offset printing.

What is the difference between CTP and conventional plate making?

In CTP plate making, plates are imaged directly from digital files using a CTP platesetter. Conventional plate making required producing a film positive or negative first, then exposing the plate through the film. CTP is faster, produces better image quality, and is the industry standard in commercial offset printing.

What does CTP plate stand for?

CTP plate stands for Computer-to-Plate — a printing plate imaged directly from digital data using a CTP platesetter laser system, rather than through conventional film-based plate making. Triwill Group supplies 1+9 CTP developer for processing thermal CTP plates in commercial offset prepress.
