CTP Flexo: A Bright Idea

According to Ian Hole, director, marketing development, Esko-Graphics, “There is little difference between preparing a final file for computer-to-film analog plate production and preparing one for processing via CTP flexo. While the settings will be different, you still have trapping, color, step-and-repeat, and other issues to consider. The need to image smaller dots also means that you have to consider how to treat highlights and shadows. Most important, CTP flexo has to consider different dot gain curves, as well as the choice of a screening technology.”
