Konita KTP-SR High Durability Thermal CTP Plate
Through a newly developed two- layer coating technology, KTP-SR plate brings exceptional quality and long run press performance without the need for post baking. It delivers high resolution and precise tone reproduction in the most demanding press environments, such as UV ink and alcohol substitute founts. The state of the art technology also provides wide processing latitude to achieve excellent stability and FM imaging capability. KTP-SR plate is suitable for a wide range of commercial, newspaper and packaging applications, and is ideal for customers who need a robust thermal CTP plate.
