Automatic CTP: technology for more efficient graphic production
In the printing industry, optimizing every phase of the process is essential for achieving agile and efficient production. Technology and automation make it possible to simplify certain tasks and improve workflows before a project reaches the printing stage.
At Gràficas Sadurní, automation is part of our production process. One example is our automatic CTP system, which is involved in preparing jobs for offset printing.
What is a CTP system?
The acronym CTP (Computer to Plate) refers to the process used to prepare the plates required for subsequent offset printing.
This system is part of the pre-press phase and allows for the integration of plate preparation into the graphic production workflow.
At Gráficas Sadurní we have a CTP system, together with Heidelberg machinery, as part of our technological resources for printing work.
Automation to streamline our processes
Incorporating automation into our CTP system helps us achieve a more efficient and faster workflow.
When working on printing projects, the time spent on each phase ultimately impacts the production as a whole. Automating certain processes allows us to optimize our workflow and move more swiftly to the subsequent stages.
In the video, you can see our automatic CTP in operation—an example of how technology is integrated into our daily routine.
Technology and experience in the graphic arts
Machinery is important, but it must be part of a complete work process.
At Gráficas Sadurní, we combine technology, automation, and over 55 years of experience in the graphic arts sector to handle various types of projects.
We work with offset and digital printing solutions, as well as various finishing and binding options for businesses, retailers, and private individuals.
The incorporation of state-of-the-art technology allows us to continue evolving our production processes and adapting to the needs of each job.
From archive to print
Before you see a finished catalog, brochure, piece of packaging, or any other graphic product, there is an entire production process behind it.
Preliminary preparation is a fundamental part of this process. In offset printing projects, technologies such as CTP are part of this stage before the job reaches the press.
Showing our automatic CTP system in operation is also a way to demostrate what lies behind every project we produce and the importance of each phase within a print shop.
