Our advanced technology CTP devices, coupled with second-to-none Customer-First service and support, enable printers to improve the quality and efficiency of their output while reducing viable print runs, turnaround times, and costs.
Our CTP equipment is available in various sizes and capabilities in order to serve virtually any industry, including newspaper, commercial, and packaging.
Thermal CTP
CRON’s thermal CTP products meet the most stringent demands for print quality. High-quality imaging is achieved through extremely accurate dot formation, a tonal range of 1%-99%, and up to 2800 dpi resolution. All CRON CTP can be customized for newspaper, commercial, or even security applications with resolution options from 1200 to 9600 dpi.
UV CTP
Our UV CTP products are designed to provide flexibility and quality for all offset printing applications. Its easily serviceable platform and cost-efficient design, combined with comprehensive automation options, offer fast, productive UV plate production across a wide range of formats from A3 to VLF.
Flexo CTP
CRON’s competitively priced, ground-breaking HDI prepress solutions are designed to support the needs of today’s packaging converters, delivering superior quality output and maximum efficiency for a wide range of flexible packaging and label applications.
Balancing quality, cost, and efficiency
CRON CTP enables you to satisfy varying throughput and quality demands while enjoying big savings on long-term operating costs.
Latest generation laser head design
Integrated laser head unit with 830nm wavelength diodes delivers higher precision, sharper imaging with highly stable dot output. This technology delivers consistent performance and quality, affording long life, easy maintenance, and simple upgrades. The redundant laser design allows plate making even if a diode fails.
Plate-loading system design
Pinch roller design allows for more reliable plate positioning. The independent pressing wheel assembly adapts to varying plate sizes and thicknesses with no engineering adjustment needed.
Automatic 3-point registration and lead screw guide assembly
Our side-gauge drive system replaces belt positioning with a lead screw that achieves more accurate and repeatable plate loading and registration – eliminating time-consuming tension adjustments.
Dependable and efficient operations
The high precision, magnetic levitation linear magnetic rail scanning system provides smooth positive travel, resulting in a dependable operation. A quieter, more energy efficient and maintenance-free large flow vacuum pump system can help save energy costs.
Patented imaging drum design
High precision u-level light drum features class-leading drum surface flatness. The oxidation hardened drum is more durable and longer lasting. A built-in vacuum maintains consistent pressures with large or small plates, and the triple dynamic drum balancing system allows self-reposition with no operator input. The tail clamp is built in to the drum.
The most dependable, easy-to-use, fast, and affordable thermal platesetting devices
CRON thermal CTPs meet the most stringent demands for print quality and productivity with clean, accurate imaging, precision dot reproduction, a tonal range of 1%-99%, and up to 2,800 dpi resolution. CRON delivers cost-effective solutions to satisfy the most challenging prepress workflow requirements with our line-up of versatile devices.
