Where to Buy The Offset Printing PS CTP Plate Customized
In the development history of the printing industry, PS plates (pre-coated photosensitive plates) and CTP plates (computer-to-plate plates) play an extremely critical role, and their development status directly affects the production efficiency and quality of the printing industry. Below, let’s have a panoramic insights into China’s PS/CTP plate industry.
Export scale: occupies an important position in the global market
In recent years, China's PS/CTP plate share in the international market has gradually increased, and the scale of exports has shown a certain development trend. According to relevant customs statistics, from January to November 2023, the export value of domestic printing plates reached US$647 million, of which PS offset plates exported 36.5606 million square meters and CTP offset plates exported 164 million square meters.
In the long run, China's PS/CTP plates occupy an important position in the global market with its cost advantages, continuously improving product quality and relatively complete industrial chain supporting facilities, and its export range covers Asia, Europe, America and other regions. China’s CTP price is very competitive, so is its quality.
Production capacity: large scale and constantly upgraded technology
The domestic production capacity of PS/CTP plates is very impressive. Many manufacturers have continuously introduced advanced equipment and increased investment in technology research and development to continuously increase production capacity. The overall domestic PS/CTP plate production capacity can fully meet the domestic market demand and provide strong support for exports.
At the same time, in terms of production technology, enterprises actively innovate, such as using a granulation process that combines mechanical and electrochemical processes to roughen the surface of aluminum plates to obtain a good distribution of sand grains; using reverse coating, oil-heated hot drying technology and unique surface sealing technology to make the dot restoration more subtle, thereby improving product quality.
Distribution area: concentrated in economically developed and prosperous printing industry areas
The distribution of Chinese PS/CTP plate manufacturers has obvious regional characteristics, mainly concentrated in economically developed and prosperous printing industry regions such as East China and South China. In East China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have many PS/CTP plate manufacturers.
In South China, Guangdong, with its strong manufacturing base and complete industrial chain, has also gathered a number of large-scale PS/CTP plate production companies. These companies continue to grow and develop based on convenient local transportation, abundant raw material resources and broad market demand.
The North China is also rising depends on its solid aluminum alloy processing capacity. Hongchang is one of the manufacturers supporting offset printing ps plate customized due to owning the ability to produce aluminium sheet for printing plate production.
