830nm Thermal CTP Plate for Digital Printing, 0.15–0.35 mm Thickness
Our thermal CTP plates feature a photosensitive coating designed for thermal laser systems operating at an 830 nm wavelength. They can be imaged directly by near-infrared lasers at approximately 830 nm, eliminating the need for conventional film-based intermediate processes.
The plates offer fast imaging speed, stable halftone dot reproduction, simplified plate-making procedures, and suitability for automated production. They are widely used in commercial printing, book and magazine printing, packaging printing, label printing, and various short- to medium-run offset printing applications.
Available plate thicknesses include 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.30 mm, and 0.35 mm. Different thicknesses and plate sizes can be selected according to printing press models, print-run requirements, and format requirements, providing printing companies with stable, efficient, and flexible digital prepress solutions.

Key Product Advantages
High Imaging Accuracy:
Reproduces 1%–99% halftone dots with an accuracy of ±1%. Supports 20 μm FM screening and delivers sharp edges, meeting the requirements of high-end printing.
Excellent Run Length:
Provides 80,000–120,000 impressions without baking and 100,000–200,000 impressions after baking. Some applications can achieve more than 200,000 impressions, making it suitable for long-run jobs.
Daylight Operation:
Insensitive to fluorescent lighting and does not require a darkroom. This improves the working environment and reduces facility modification costs.
Fast Ink-Water Balance:
The optimized graining and hydrophilic surface treatment enable fast ink-water balance on press, reducing paper waste during start-up.
Broad Equipment Compatibility:
Compatible with all mainstream 830 nm thermal CTP plate setters, including both imported and domestic equipment.
Stable Storage Performance:
Sensitivity variation before and after transportation is less than 3%, while sensitivity variation after one year of storage at room temperature is less than 5%. Standard shelf life is 12 months.
Thickness Options and Application Scenarios
830 nm thermal CTP plates are available in thicknesses from 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm to meet the needs of different printing applications.
0.15 mm–0.20 mm (Thin Plates):
Suitable for high-quality fine printing, such as magazines, premium promotional materials, and high-end brochures. Thin plates offer higher resolution and finer halftone reproduction, making them ideal for short-run premium printing that requires exceptional image detail.
0.25 mm–0.30 mm (Medium-Thickness Plates):
Suitable for commercial printing, book printing, and general packaging printing. These plates offer a good balance between durability and imaging precision and are the most commonly used thickness range.
0.30 mm–0.35 mm (Thick Plates):
Suitable for long-run, high-volume printing, such as newspaper printing, packaging printing, and industrial printing. Thick plates provide greater mechanical strength and durability and can withstand more printing cycles.
