UV-ink chemical resistance
A specially formulated coating resists UV-curing chemistry and keeps the image intact on plastic and foil.
Scratch resistance
A tough surface resists press-side scratches, lowering remakes and downtime.
White-light handling
Runs under normal room light, removing darkroom constraints from the plate room.
High resolution
Thermal ablation holds fine detail for sharp text and smooth gradients.
Long run on non-absorbent stocks
Built for plastic, foil and other non-absorbent substrates in high-value packaging.

Applications
FAQ
What makes a UV-ink thermal CTP plate different?
It carries a thermal (830 nm) imaging layer for normal CTP workflow but uses a surface chemistry tuned to resist UV inks, so you get thermal-plate convenience with UV-printing durability.
Do I need a special platesetter for CTP-UV plates?
No. They expose on any standard 830 nm thermal CTP platesetter. Only the ink chemistry on press differs — the plate is built to survive UV ink formulations.
What run length and processing apply?
Expect around 50,000 impressions under UV inks and up to 150,000–300,000 with conventional inks. Develop at 22–24°C for 25–30 s, optionally bake for extended runs.
