High-quality, high-efficiency CTP technology has been born for more than ten years, and its practicality has been affirmed by everyone, but its application in the Chinese printing industry has always been embarrassing, progress is not smooth, failed to meet expectations. effect. So, what is the reason that affects its development? We may wish to analyze from the following aspects.
1. Equipment price: At present, the selling price of the CTP system includes not only the production cost of the equipment itself, but also the cost of marketing and promotion, and the cost of pre-technical development, research and operation. Due to the low market share, the overall production cost of CTP systems is relatively high, which has affected the popularity of the market.
2. Plate cost: From a technical point of view, CTP technology saves film, directly sends raster data to the plate making equipment, forms images on the plate, and the intermediate process is simple, which seems to save costs. However, the current CTP plate is more expensive, the cost is higher than the sum of the film and the ordinary PS version. Because of its large amount of use, it will add up to a large amount. For enterprises, it is possible It is a burden.
3. Service system: At present, all major laser imagesetter manufacturers have offices in China, and are equipped with professional and technical personnel and a comprehensive after-sales service system, which can provide timely and effective services for domestic users. In addition, the price of accessories for laser imagesetters is relatively low. In addition, the operation of the CTP system has increased the requirements for employees, and the country has not yet established a comprehensive training system, which is also a matter that enterprises have to consider when investing in CTP systems. In addition, most film output companies can provide customers with film delivery services, but because of the large size of CTP plates, inconvenient delivery, it also needs to increase service costs.
4. Market penetration: China is in the initial accumulation stage of capital. When the overall requirements of the quality of printing and plate making are not very high, the output centers always take the minimum cost as the premise, and compete at low prices as the resources for customers. Means, through the extrusion of competitors' living space, to achieve the purpose of industry integration and optimization. Under this premise, if the output center introduces a CTP system with high cost and high consumables, it will not produce too good economic benefits. Therefore, most of the CTP systems introduced in many cities in China are mainly used by large-scale printing enterprises, and few of them are operated externally. To a certain extent, they also affect the popularity of CTP systems.
In summary, if the CTP system wants to have a faster development, it has to go a long way.
