Beijing, China – May 19, 2025 – The 11th CHINA PRINT exhibition, held from May 15 to 19 at the China International Exhibition Centre (Shunyi Hall), brought together the global printing industry's leading innovators. As a key player in printing plate technology, BOCICA made a strong impression with its high-performance CTP (Computer-to-Plate) and CTCP (Computer-to-Conventional-Plate) solutions, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted supplier in the printing plate sector.

In the printing industry, Computer-to-Plate (CTP) and Computer-to-Conventional Plate (CTcP) are two prevalent technologies for plate making.

May 14, 2009 – At China Print 2009, Asia’s premier printing technology exhibition, BOCICA showcased its expertise as a leading manufacturer of CTP (Computer-to-Plate) and CTCP (Computer-to-Conventional-Plate) printing plates. Held at the New China International Exhibition Center (NCIEC) in Beijing, the event provided a global platform for BOCICA to highlight its innovations in digital and conventional plate solutions.

Over the past 25 years, platemaking technology has undergone significant advancements. As the printing industry has matured, so too have the methods used to image plates. Today, thermal, violet, and (to a lesser extent) UV lasers dominate plate imaging, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Below, we break down the key differences between these technologies to help printers make informed decisions.

CTP technology in China has matured, improving print quality and efficiency with localized plate production, faster output, and reduced waste, making it preferred over traditional PS plates.

The global printing plate market continues to evolve across four key technologies: Conventional PS Plates, CTP Plates, CTCP Technology, Processless Plates.
