NOVA-CTP machine for label and packaging industry

Implementing this laser CTP plate-making system yields significant benefits for print providers and packaging converters:

• Faster Turnaround & Higher Throughput: By eliminating the traditional film exposure step and automating plate production, the CTP dramatically reduces plate-making time. Plates can go from design file to press-ready in a fraction of the time, which shortens press setup and allows printers to respond quickly to rush jobs or last-minute design changes. The high imaging speed (multiple plates per hour) ensures that even large orders of plates can be completed on schedule.

• Consistent, High-Quality Output: The digital imaging process ensures each plate is accurately and identically imaged from the digital file, which improves consistency across print runs. Print quality is enhanced by the 4,800 dpi resolution – delivering sharper images, smoother gradients, and finer line work than conventional methods. The result is top-tier print quality with excellent repeatability, giving packaging and printed products a competitive edge in terms of clarity and detail.

• Cost Savings & Waste Reduction: Adopting a CTP workflow for flexo plates can lower production costs over time. Removing film and chemical processes not only cuts material and disposal costs, but also reduces human error and the need for remakes. The machine’s automation (such as auto-calibration and reliable laser longevity) minimizes downtime and labor effort, allowing staff to focus on other tasks. Together, these factors contribute to a more efficient, cost-effective plate-making operation, with less waste and more sustainable production.

Each of these benefits contributes to a more agile and high-quality printing process, whether in flexible packaging, labels, cartons, or any flexographic/letterpress application. By combining technical excellence (precision laser imaging, stable performance) with practical efficiency (speed and automation), this laser flexo CTP machine empowers printing and packaging businesses to deliver superior results while optimizing their prepress workflow.
