hey ARC, Kodak's (CREO) CTP technology is believed to be somewhat better than Screen in many Asian market, but why are Fujifilm's CTPs made by Screen instead of Kodak? I believe there are many factors, but the competitive relationship between Kodak and Fujifilm is definitely one factor you...

Indeed, CRON and Amksy push their CTCP now, but it does not mean their CTP quality is not better than Huaruijingyi... however, not matter CRON, Amsky, or Huaruijingyi... their CTP are not reliable enough for long term, at least in my opinion. GRAFMAC processor can help to rule out the problem...

yeah, you should give your old processor a try before any further spending. But there is a few things I'll suggest you during the trial though. 1. use a thermometer to constantly check developer temperature from time to time during the trial, get the temperature reading from every part of the...

I have never consider buying a Chinese CTP, but there is a reason why Chinese CTP like CRON or Amsky are far more popular than Huaruijingyi among CTP users in both Chinese market and world wide. Both CRON and Amsky claim to have western patent tech applied in their CTP... but the quality...

Alright, back to focus on Chinese brand CTP. I wouldn't recommend any Chinese brand CTP , not because they cannot get the job done, but its the minor problems causing malfunctioning here and there will be very painful for the user in the long term, and depends on the problem, the cost for using...

Yes, Xinggraphic does sell their plates in bundle with Huaruijingyi CTP... but as far as I know, its mostly lower end plates in Asian/Chinese market. It is possible that Huaruijingyi distributors sells the CTP with higher end Xinggraphic plates, but Xinggraphic mostly sells their higher end in...

If you are referring to conventional PS plate processor, then perhaps the real problem is not speed, but temperature control. Conventional PS plates's temperature range tolerance is relatively wider than CTP plates, so it is usually not equipped with a chiller but only heater. CTP plates...

ARC, to be completely honest with you, I simply wouldn't take the risk of using Chinese Brand CTP. Take Huaruijingyi as an example again, there is a legitimate reason that Xinggraphic sells their higher end plates in combination with none-Chinese brand CTP (+processor) instead of their...

I would personally recommend the Taiwanese processor with KODAK/FUJI/AGFA or higher end Chinese plates. Fuji "Lo-Cham"/"ZAC" system can only be used for Fuji Plates, but the GRAFMAC CDN/P (the Taiwanese processor) can process all thermal Chem plates (Chinese plates included). According to the...

Well, if cost is your concern, then I think using Chinese or higher end positive plates will still be the cheaper option.... as long as you have a good processor in your workflow, because as you might know already, process variables can be a serious complication... There's a crazy Taiwanese...

ARC, you are absolutely right, Xinggraphic is a plate manufacturer, and as I typed in the previous reply, Huaruijingyi is a company under Xinggraphic, in other words (see my previous reply) Xinggraphic is their mother company. ok, back to the topic. Huaruijingyi as a CTP + Processor...

Everything comes from China indeed, the only way to manufacture reliable products in China would heavily rely on the production line management. I personally don't oppose "Made in China" as long as the factory is not managed by locals, because they are the true "Made in China" products that...

all of these three major players' Asian branch (AGFA, Fuji, Kodak) have already found information related to these questions, plus the solution to problems revealed by these info; but they are very very conservative about releasing these info. My guess is, because the solution they've found can...
