Thermal CTP Plate (Double Layer)
What is thermal CTP plate?
Thermal CTP plates are used in a digital imaging process where a laser is used to expose a digital image directly onto the plate. The plate is then developed and used on a printing press to transfer the image to paper or other substrate.
Double Layer Thermal CTP Plate has the characteristics of no need for baking, extremely fast sensitivity, perfect resolution, stable imaging, and ultra-high printing durability. It is a new innovative plate and the first choice for mid-to-high-end printing.
Double-layer thermal CTP plate is a new technology that revolutionizes the printing industry. These plates are made of two layers, a top layer of photosensitive material and a bottom layer of heat-resistant material.
Double Layer Thermal CTP PlateTop layer
- Composition: The top layer is photosensitive material, which is usually composed of heat-sensitive polymer.
- Function: Responds to laser exposure during imaging. Laser energy causes chemical or physical changes in this layer, creating image areas that are receptive to ink.
Double Layer Thermal CTP Plate bottom layer
- Composition: The bottom layer is a heat-resistant material, usually made of aluminum or other durable material, which provides stability and strength.
- Function: This layer supports the top imaging layer and ensures that the plate can withstand the mechanical stresses of the printing process.
When exposed to light, the photosensitive layer hardens and transfers the image to the underlying layer. This image can then be used to create high-precision and high-definition prints. Double-layer thermal CTP plates are becoming increasingly popular due to their cost-effectiveness and durability compared to traditional printing methods.
The double-coated thermal CTP plate has the characteristics of no need for baking, extremely fast sensitivity, perfect resolution, stable imaging, and ultra-high print durability. It is a new innovative plate and the first choice for mid-to-high-end printing.
Double Layer Thermal CTP Plate Features

Thermal CTP Plate (Double Layer) Advantages
- 1. Higher resolution and image quality: The top imaging layer is engineered to achieve fine detail and high resolution, which are critical for high-quality print reproduction.
- 2. Durability and longevity: A solid bottom layer enhances the durability of the printing plate, allowing for longer printing runs without degradation.
- 3. Improved chemical resistance: Double-layer printing plates generally exhibit better resistance to the chemicals used in the printing process, resulting in more consistent performance and longer service life.
- 4. Reduce waste and improve cost efficiency: The precise imaging process reduces errors and waste, making the entire printing process more cost-effective.
- 5. Environmental benefits: Double-layer board designs are more environmentally friendly, requiring fewer chemicals and producing less waste.
