@flexo CTP open a new era of photopolymer plate making |
CTF inkjet vs Photo film
A matured new application for film making
(Up to 175 lpi 1% dot reproduction good for color jobs)
Hilson Huang / NozzleBlack CEO
Although CTP (Computer To Plate making) is widely used in offset printing industry for years, but it is not all of the offset printers are using this CTP system. Conventional offset printing machine still needs to make positive film first for PS plate image exposure. How can these conventional offset printers are able to enjoy this new digital inkjet technology for their plate making especially when photo film is facing termination and price of it is getting higher and higher day by day due to fewer and fewer photographic film manufacturer in the market.
By using photo film, the expensive investment of equipment such as image setter, film processor are too huge a sum for them to put in, though second hand CTP machine retired from offset is cheaper but it is facing another problem: termination of production and discontinuing supply of parts ... which means not only no more hardware maintenance but also any after service is available.
This will be a nightmare for all existing photo film users which they have to face in near future before it is too late. Fortunately, due to new technology of inkjet nozzle development with improved RIP software for fine dot reproduction the inkjet film making is ripe and mature for the industry now. Users only have to do more adjustment of their mind that black image is no longer to be made by photographic film any more.
No more developer, no more fixer (no chemicals) with no expensive investments for equipment as well as maintenance and electric power consumption, most important advantage is that due to use of no chemical it is very green and friendly to our environment.
Case 1
There is an offset printing factory YF in Tainan which is in the south part of Taiwan, they relied on outsourcing of film to make PS plate for their Roland 200 / Roland 700 and Komori S40 printing machine. Now they are using NozzleBlack inkjet printer making their own film with NozzleBlack PS-RIP software since beginning of 2014, doing wonderful jobs in big size (and the size is accurate in registration) at very low cost for their routine works, the boss is very happy with this inkjet film making system.
This big size printer operate with NozzleBlack PS-RIP special and fine image forming technology can accept HQ-RIP with 1 bit TIFF signal through ink drop control from Adobe in order to distribute ink accurately on film in accordance with the size directly. The size can be from A4 to 1118mm in width and limitless in length.
Case 2
SH is a plate trade shop in New Taipei city, they have relied on out sourcing of the negative film for a long time so they have paid much more attentions to the inkjet CTF. But the fact they have seen is that when the printer works smoothly, it is good, but once it break down there comes the problem and almost has to stop for a long time. The reason is that most of the system sold in the market:
printer / RIP / ink / film always happen different problem and separately, there seems no one is integrated all together in a package.
Mr. Su, the boss with his wife they want very much to have their own CTF system for film making. Now they are having the concordance from a vender who supply with RIP / Ink / Film which are all certificated by the printer maker,
When Mr. & Mrs. Su are enjoying the quality negative as good as photo film with high opaque black density made by them self, meantime they are also enjoy the wonderful after sales service from the printer dealer for they are using all the materials certificated by the manufacturer. Now they do not have to worry about printer out of order or break down at all.
Case 3
WG co. is a color label printer especially for electronic field which is a most quality demanding printing job of 175 lpi and 1% reproduction in label industry, due to heavy investment of a digital CTP equipment and peripheral machine, they do not want to invest so much.
RIP of NozzleBlack is created by a group of engineers who have at least 20 years of practical experience of color separation and screening who knows what are the difference and important points for an inkjet film user from the beginning when they organize the software in addition to the fine dot reproduction and sharp image. The boss Mr. Tsen is very happy with the results of negative made by inkjet printer now.
@flexo CTP open a new era of photopolymer plate making
Vacuum contact problem with air in between negative film and plate is always a
nightmare for photopolymer plate making over 80% of defected plate which make
image not sharp and clear and become not usable because of this.
CTP inkjet make direct image on plate can solve this problem 100% in addition due to
no more vacuum procedure is required, therefore the procession time can be reduce
over 20 minutes of escaping air and drawing down time.

NozzleBlack digital direct inkjet – Flexo CTP
Hilson Huang / CEO - Flexo Technology
In May 2012 during Drupa, a new machine of digital inkjet printing press was shown and have been commended as a great innovation after Mr. Johannes Gutenberg had invented a printing press. As a matter of fact it was derived from electronic image forming technology by liquid electro-ink method in 1993 during IPEX, by using magnetic field reaction to form an image on a roller then transfer to paper or substrate.
After 20 years, direct image to photopolymer plate by inkjet printer – CTP INKJET for photopolymer plate making without using any film is also becoming popular.
Actually, this is an extensive development of CTF (Computer To Film), due to new Nano-ink technology, CTP (Computer To Plate) INKJECT is now practical, ordinary, economic and substantial with more versatility of wider range for substrate selection. NozzleBlack can inkjet black image to any untreated film and uncoated paper as tracing paper which is a cheapest translucent paper material for negative making as a film in stead of photosensitive films. in May 14-17 2013, CTP INKJET for photopolymer plate making was announced in China Print by which a new era of Flexo CTP is opened.
Conventional photographic film manufacturers have announced to terminate their production, this has scared most of the users, film price increase day by day thus has forced consumers to pursue other methods in stead. Due to Nano-ink technology, nowadays to prepare a dye in 20 nano as raw material is no longer difficult, plus additives for the dye, it is easy to have a ink layer by inkjet at 40-50 nano and reaching the same density as offset ink layer which is 400-500 nano, however the consumption of ink is only 10% only, no matter it is an ink layer of color reflection or black opaque to block light transmission when forming the plate image by UV lamps. This is the reason why we can use the ink to spray image directly on the photopolymer plates as a negative film with 0-distance with plate, despite it’s a letterpress plate or flexographic plate in any thickness from any brand. www.ctpinkjet.com
Specialty of nano-ink
Nano-ink can absorb and reflect more light than a regular ink so that reproduction of a dot is showing sharper, slippery, even and more shining in order to reflect more colorful areas of YMCK inks and most important is 15% more color reflection than an offset printing ink layers. This is the specialty of nano-ink which is reducing ink absorbed by the substrate in order for shining up more colorful. Moreover, with thinner layer of nano-ink inkjet printers can spray it at higher speed, no mater it is a treated or untreated surface, film or paper with no coagulation or spreading at all or even on any photopolymer plate material which is available from the market.
CTP Inkjet spray
NozzleBlack CTP inkjet is using a spray head with 2 sets of YMCK each for color printing in total of 8 nozzles. For negative image spray we use only K ink in black color. Depends on the ink density, once the opaque is not good enough then we suggest to use 2 nozzles to spray K ink at a time, thus will assure the black optical density over 3.50 which is excellent enough during plate making in order to block out the UV light and keep image sharp despite of it is a rough image or fine image. Meantime, the other
6 nozzles can be spared for future use.
Advantages of CTP Inkjet
˙Nano-ink
Nano dye with additives can allow ink drying quickly on non-treated substrates, the cost is cheaper than UV based ink and no UV curing device is required so as to purchase a very expensive laser image ablator, which will save you a lot from hardwares.??
˙Ink saving
Comparing with offset printing ink layer the CTP inkjet ink layer is only 10% in thickness which means that ink cost can be reduced a lot not only in consuming quantity but also cost of transportation.
˙Energy saving
No UV curing or extra drying unit is necessary when using nano ink, therefore it is also saving energy, after inkjet only a small bulb on the printer will dry up the ink quickly, this will also reduce problems of nozzle blocking.?
˙Reducing costs
Use no more photographic film so the film cost is reduced. Due to use of nano ink a A2 sized plate will consume only 4 cc of black ink but able to achieve optical density over 3.50. Thus will not have to use Digital plate any more which is about 30- 40% cost up than a conventional photopolymer plate.
˙Any substrates
Wide range of substrates can be used and no special treating or coating is required therefore, can inkjet on any letterpress plate, flexographic plate, water wash flexo plate as well as for liquid photopolymer plate making. RD team finds that direct image on film for liquid resin spreading can be also sprayed in order for resin contact directly to the image with 0-distance. This has solved no-sharp-reproduction bad impression from the beginning when liquid photopolymer plate making technical had been invented.
Conclusion
NozzleBlack CTP inkjet for flexo no film plate making is not using a special printer but a regular printer which you can get from the market only we have paid more attention to the portions of: fine reproduction, easy access, less breakdown as well as reasonable hardware cost so that it can be accepted by the industry easily no mater how big size is required. This is quite different from a kind of small size A2 machine available in the market but only good for thickness less than 2.30mm from which the market is divided.
In summarizing, a new era of CTP inkjet for photopolymer plate making is opened right after the China Print show in 2013, as Jessica Harkins reported on the Flexo magazine there is a wide array of people will make up the flexographic industry, business owners, design partners, creative brains, old-school fundamentalists, young techs and everyone in between will work together to make flexo industry stronger. NozzleBlack is expecting here the flower blossom. www.nozzleblack.com

MY IMAGESETTER |
MY IMAGESETTER --- Recently imagesetter film price is going up and up no matter it is the made by your own or relied on film outputting service cost, therfore we have found the demand of our Laser Black Enhancer has appreared increasing and increasing.
We heard from many film manufacturers that due to material price increased continuously, they are quiting the production of photographic film for negative / positive making and the cost of this film will be going higher and higher in the future.
LB-Enhances are very acceptable by the screen printers for this is the most economic and quick way of geting a film for plate making from your own laser printer ---- AS YOUR OWN IMAGESETTER.
Many conventional gravure cylinders and plate makers told us that it is very convenient for them to prepare the film for their plate making from Laser Black Enhancer due to price up of the film and film outputting services. Their jobs are from pad printing plates to film package printing cylinders.
Corrugated board printing plate makers love Laser Black Enhancer in A3 size very much due to convenience of their negative making and use no camera any more, therefore in many areas like in Taiwan and China almost every corrugated plate maker have one unit of LB-Enhancer with them, time and money saving are the reasons why they like Laser Black System so much.
Label printers like to have Laser Black Enhancer in A4 size for they can use either tracing paper or vellum or transparent film to make negative printed from a laser printer then enhanced by Laser Black to have teir own film to make plate quickly. For color separantion jobs, they may rely on imagesetter service to do it for them because it is too expensive.
For small label printers this is a good way to save time and money in order for plate ready to print, to have a small unit of plate making machine making their own plate for letterpress or flexographic printing is a must for them to reduce their time and cost is becoming a trend in the world.
From all these points of view, it is not the question of Laser Black System can be used by you or not, it is depends on you to use it immediately to save time and money, the quicker you decide it will save you much more. Again for the critical jobs, you may rely on out sourcing.

Feedback

Feedback from a Laser Black
Enhancer user
Convenient, quick, easy access and save money.
Do you want to try now? Make up your mind ASAP.
Our company has over 20 year experience in plate making
and printing, to make film for exposing plate, we had
done it by the traditional way of a process camera and
developing by hand in the dark room.
At that time, we have at least 4 persons as a group of
making film, one for art work,
one for typing, one for composition and one for camera.
When it was busy, we have to do it overtime until late
night even sometimes we have one more group people to
make film at night shift
About 5 years ago, we rely on image setter service to
make the film for us in order for us to make plate in
plant. Convenience is that we do not have to touch film
making any more however when sometime it is an emergency
or some problem occurred during printing, we can not wait
and get in time from the service to deliver the film urgently
for our immediate use.
Until recently, Laser Black people introduce and suggest
to use Enhancer directly from a laser printer, then go
through the Enhancer to increase 300% black density with
100% success it is good and quick enough for our job and
production, therefore we decided to tear down our darkroom
as well as move out all the equipments as camera and unnecessary
devices, no need to have an experienced person for camera
and every body can make film simple and easy now.
The image on the monitor can be laser printed on a tracing
paper or film and then enhanced to become a film is incredible
and convenient so that whole process can be done by the
internal network for every body in the factory are all
using computer access now a days.
Under this circumstances, the making of film is getting
more and more which means the jobs rely on image setter
service is also less and less. So that the ratio of printing
and enhancing to make film in our own plant is now up
to 60-70% again. Not only our
boss is happy but also all of us are happy now because
of its convenience and easy access --- We all love Laser Black
Enhancer very much !
At the beginning, we did not count on the enhancer so
much, but gradually, we find
that we save lots of our time, labor and most important
is the cost is very low which means that we get much more
profit from this smart idea and small machine.
Eventually, all of us realized that it is nothing to do
with Laser Black Enhancer can do this or can not do that,
it is only really depends on you to decide to
use it or not in order to save your time, labor and money
immediately which will also give you more advantage and
profit.

USER'S FEEDBACK |
Laser Black - Introduced at the 2002 SGIA show. We
have no experience
with this product, however it appears to make the images
on both our
Translucency and LaserFilm the most opaque we have ever
observed.
We are very anxious to receive customer reports on this
product.
Mike - I followed your link to the Laser Black
site and got in touch with Tony Chu their rep in Los
Angeles. He came down to San Diego to show me the
system and I bought one. Really something else! I
make positives for sikscreening and used to use Laser
Buddy but the laser Black system puts that to shame.
Not only does it make the image twice as dense but
it also fills gaps in the toner. It is a bit more
work but in the long run well worth it for a real
quality positive. I sell a lot of film to printers
in the area and they're all really stoked with the
results as well. If not for your link I'd have never
known about this. Thanks and Good Luck. - JM

I have been using Tony Chu's excelent Photopolymer
wash solution when he introduced the Laser Black for
making our negatives in house,I must say that not
only it worked well, it reduced our cost of negs drastically
and gave us much more flexibility in serving our customers.
I highly recommand it.

Ever Great Screen Process
Films needed for screen printing supposed to be not
necessary in a high end quality, however, reproduction
by camera and developing in the dark room to make
film for plate making is not a good way for our mass
production jobs as well as too much time consuming.
And most of all we can not afford the high cost to
have film made by an image setter.
For these reasons, we have tried very hard to find
a way to get the image from our monitor to have a
final solution of getting a film for our plate making
just from a printer, so we have tried all laser and
inkjet printers, unfortunately the black opaque is
not enough at all. We also tried to get a black print
from color laser printer (which cost us lot of money)
in order to get more density but still failed.
Until we find and use the Laser Black Enhancer, now
we only use our HP Laserjet printer to print on tracing
paper / film then go through the Enhancer the density
go up 300% immediately after drying. For the fine
image and small dot the reproduction is as good as
it is made by a camera or a setter. In the high peak
season, we can make 1000 sheets A3 size enhancement
in a working day. Laser Black Enhancer is a important
economic high efficient tool for us now.
You may not know that this is also a secret where
our profit comes from!
Taipei / TuChen / Chen Min-Yo
EnChee Label printing
Our company is a label stick printer located far
away from center of city, when salesmen received orders,
they deliver the original to the image setter service
center then bring the film back for plate making the
next day, it is very inconvenient to wait for a long
time and need a courier to get the film back. In case
of any mistake or problem then we have to wait for
another day.
Since we have installed the Laser Black Enhancer,
we can have a negative film right from image on our
monitor in few minutes and ready to make a photopolymer
plate for printing within an hour. We don’t have to
wait so long as in the past any longer and we have
increased lot of our productivity due to the efficiency.
At the beginning, we doubted with the opaque density
from the enhanced quality is really good enough as
a negative film to expose photopolymer plate. Until
we find that the system not only melt the toners in
a very even layer as a coating on the paper / film,
but also we find that gaps between toners and toners
are all filled up. This is really a marvelous invention
that have helped us so much in production!
Although we are still rely on image setter for high
fine dot reproduction, but 80-90%
of the jobs are done by the Laser Black Enhancer. We
all love it very much!
China / ShenZhen / The-Hon Cheng
GiFong corrugated plate process co.
We are based in Taiwan and start our plate making
business for corrugated board printing since 1999,
now we have 6 plants located in China. All of our
plants are using Laser Black Enhancer to make negative
film for our photopolymer plate making, we appreciate
to have this brand new invention to make film and
heard of that they have been granted inventions and
patents in 20 countries including USA, Germany, Japan…..etc.
We used to have a camera and darkroom in each plant
to make negative film for a long time, while Laser Black
system is only using a HP Laserjet printer, at the
beginning we all afraid of the opaque density will
be not good enough for the longest 7mm thick photopolymer
plate exposure, however, Laser Black Enhancer has a
Super Black Cartridge and proved the quality of 300%
black density increase immediately after drying, now
we have cleared more room for us by drawing away the
camera and film processor by tearing down the darkroom
completely.
We are using HP laserjet printer to print the image
on tracing paper / transparent film
and go through the Laser Black Enhancer to get the
high black density negative film to expose the photopolymer
plate directly, this save us much of time, labor,
cost and get very good efficiency, during this high
price competition to have more productivity and cost
saving are really very important for managements.
Only very few times for the gradation back ground
or the color separation jobs, we have to rely on an
image setter service center. Actually over 90% of
the films are made by Laser Black Enhancing System,
now we have 6 units of LB-A3 enhancers used in our
factories satisfactorily.

Laser Black ENHANCER - A new solution for graphic images
The photographic film used for reproduction has been
existed for over 50 years, in the old days, if you want
to make a film for printing plate making, you have to
use only the traditional way by a reproduction camera,
a film processor or even a film copying machine. And
have to be done by a skillful technician, not only paying
much for the equipments but also time consumes. Nowadays,
the job can be done by a film outputing machine either,
however, the investment of it, is much more than the
above mentioned traditional machine.
With a Laser Black Enhancer, you can use the existing
PC (Windows or Mac) with a laser printer which you are
currently using, to make prints on a tracing paper or
transparent film first then go through our Laser Black
Enhancer, now you get a film ready for plate making.
Our system can make your B/W prints darkened with an
opaque density over 3.5 good for all kinds of plate
exposure (even a photopolymer plate in 7 mm thickness).
Everybody can do it, do not have to rely on a skilled
personel any longer, shorten the processing time as
well as no special trainning is needed.
Laser Black Enhaner is now available in A4 (250m/m
in width),A3 (360m/m), A1 (760m/m) and A0 (960m/m) with
no limitation in length as long as it is a print from
a B/W Laser Printer / Plotter. From now on you do not
need a film outputing machine or to buy a camera, a
copy machine even a film processor. You also do not
need to depend on anybody to make film for you, you
can make it easily by yourself, reducing your production
cost and the time wasteb.
Environmental green and friendly is now an important
and necessary issue, Laser Black? Enhancer is a non-toxic,
green chemical, after operation just clean your hands
with water, which is far, far ahead from polution contained
film developing chemicals and toxic solvents.
