Which Is Better: PS Plate V CTP Plate

In the printing industry, the PS plate mainly refers to the aluminum plate used for printing, which has two types: positive PS plate and negative PS plate.

CTP plate has several meanings: computer to plate, computer to press, computer to paper/print. Here we refer to computer to plate. It is an imaging technology used in modern printing processes. In this technology, an image created in a Desktop Publishing (DTP) application is output directly to a printing plate.

There are three types: photopolymer plates, siverhalogen plates and thermal CTP plate. Thermal CTP platemaking technology is currently the most mature, stable, and effective platemaking technology.

The PS plate and CTP plate has been developed in China for over one decade. Haomei Aluminum has comprehensive range of aluminum plates for making PS plate and CTP plate. The rapid development of the enterprise in recent years has contributed to a rapid increase in production volume, which basically meets the growing needs of offset printing plates.

1060 Aluminum Plate for Positive PS Plate

Positive PS plate is is a lithographic printing plate with a photosensitive resin layer pre-coated on the substrate of aluminum plate. Through a series of processing such as electrolytic graining and anodizing, aluminum plate is formed a base plate for printing.

The commonly used PS aluminum base plate is 1060 aluminum sheet. In addition PS plate, it is also used to make thermal CTP plates, photosensitive CTP plates, UV-CTP plates, etc. The width of Haomei PS version base is generally 400-1600mm, and the conventional thickness is 0.10-0.50mm.

PS plate has requirements for surface quality and flatness. Therefore, in order to obtain high quality PS aluminum base plate, special straightening methods must be adopted after cold rolling.

During PS plate making process, Haomei Aluminum uses advanced straightening process to avoid defects such as hard scratches, flat marks, and shock marks. The aluminum sheet produced by this equipment is of high quality.

In addition, Haomei Aluminum uses matte air conduction technology to improve plate making efficiency. Through the electrostatic spraying technology, the air between the film and the PS plate is smoothly extracted when the plate is exposed, and the vacuum time is shortened by two thirds compared with the PS plate without a matte surface, thereby reducing the plate making time.

8011 Aluminum Cap Material

As a green bottle cap material, aluminum is more and more demanding. 8011 aluminum foil is a main kind. How much do you know about it? Let’s have a look.

8011 aluminum foil can be used as the raw material of anti-counterfeit aluminum bottle caps. It can be divided into casting and hot rolling. It also has different tempers such has H16 and H18, which can satisfy the requirements of different industries.

8011 H18 bottle cap material

8011 H18 bottle cap material is mainly applied to stamping shallow caps, which can be cast and rolled. The process: cold rolling-foil rolling-straightening-slitting-packaging and other processes. It does not require annealing treatment, so the production period is the shortest and the price is relatively cheaper.

8011H16 bottle cap material

8011H16 bottle cap material is an important member of hot-rolled aluminum anti-theft cap material. Its specification:

• Thickness range: 0.15-0.27mm
• Thickness tolerance: ± 0.005mm
• Width: 330-1000mm
• Width tolerance: ± 1mm
• Tensile strength: 150-165Mpa
• Elongation rate> 2%

As for its quality, it should be of smooth surface, no obvious roll marks, no obvious defects such as oil stains, scratches, bright strips, etc. The earring rate should be less than 3%.

Its production needs more steps: cold rolled-annealing-foil rolled-stretch bending-slitting. After the finished rolls are produced, they must go through a number of processes such as cutting, painting, drying, multiple stamping, and anti-counterfeiting markings to produce qualified bottle cap materials. For medical caps and wine bottle caps, there are some difference in the process of annealing.
