0.30mm Thickness CTP Plate With Single Layer Thermal CTP Plate Aluminuim Offset Plate
In the evolving world of printing technology, the demand for high-performance Computer-to-Plate (CTP) aluminum plates has increased due to their direct influence on print quality and operational efficiency. Our 0.30mm Thickness CTP Plate With Single Layer Thermal CTP Plate Aluminum Offset Plate is precision-engineered to meet stringent industry standards.
What is a Single Layer Thermal CTP Plate?
A CTP Plate is a photopolymerizable aluminum plate designed for direct laser imaging from digital files—a substitute for traditional film-based processes. The single-layer thermal CTP plate refers to the coating system where a single, uniform photosensitive thermal layer is applied on the substate (aluminum base) to provide high sensitivity, accurate detail rendering, and thermal resistance. This contrasts with double or multi-layer plates optimized for different print applications.

Alloy and Tempering Details
The aluminum base acts as a durable yet flexible backbone. Common alloys such as AA1050 and AA1100 contain >99% pure aluminum with the min07-0.35% iron, trace silicon, and residual copper, chromium to improve extrusion and thermal resistance seamlessly.
| Chemical Element | % Composition in Typical AA1050/AA1100 Lightweight Sheet |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | 99.0% Min |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.25% max |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.40% max |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.05% max |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.05% max |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 0.03% max |

Temper H14 denotes half-hard temper, which balances firmness and thin gauge ductility essential for precise bending, drilling, and laminating in plates.
Thermo-Sensitivity & Imaging Process
The single thermal layer incorporates heat-reactive photopolymer emulsions sensitive at frequencies typically <830 nm, making it suitable for diode laser exposure units. It enables:
- Reduced exposure time by up to 30% over multi-coat.
- Fine line sensitivity ≥ 180 lpi, facilitating detailed typography and halftones.
- Excellent resolution with broad tonal scale.
This optimization accommodates long press runs without coating deterioration, making the product an excellent choice for commercial sheet-fed and heat-set webs offset processes.
Implementation Standards and Quality Control
Our plates are manufactured according to industry standards such as ISO 12647-3 related to PostPress digital offset substrates and managed under strict RoHS compliance frameworks (free from Heavy Metals). The finishing work ensures minimal optical defects such as pinholes, waves, and surface contamination.
- Test standard reference: ASTM B209 – Aluminium and Aluminium-Alloy Sheet and Plate.
- Photothermal Quality checkout using densitometry and microscopic grain inspection.
Each CTP aluminum sheet undergoes rigorous dimensional checks, flexibility testing, and thermal response validation to deliver uniform quality.
Applications
- Commercial Printing catalogs, brochures, and magazines.
- High volume runs where maximizing substrate longevity is critical.
- Fine art reproductions requiring subtle gradient reproduction.
- Labels, packaging proofs demanding fast turnaround and consistent feedback.
- Compatible with Eco-friendly solvent-free printing protocols.
