This profile focuses on the environmental issues related to CTP, also known as direct-to-plate lithographic printing systems, as well as the potential benefits when compared to traditional lithographic printing systems. The Profile provides information about the two main categories of CTP technology: thermal and
visible light. Information about chemistry-free and process-free plates is also included.
