Future of UV-CTP

[sarwar amin]

At present three companies are doing well with UV CTP or conventional PS plate CTP. Luescher, Basys and Cron. Now speed has increased significantly.
So, what is the future of CTP? Who will win at last?

But interestingly, UVCTP market is growing now. Scenery will be change soon if I am not mistaken...

I had mentioned this in a previous post.

Agfa and Luscher have announced cooperative
certification of Agfa's new line of UV-sensitive
plates, optimized for applications such as
Lucher's CtCp systems.

There are many choices in CtP imaging and plate technology. As usual, it's the market, not the technology, that decides which systems will survive.

In N.A. and Europe I think the market has already spoken. I don't know enough about the Asia market to have an opinion.
