Computer to plate. Computer-to-plate ( CTP) is an imaging technology used in modern printing processes. In this technology, an image created in a desktop publishing (DTP) application is output directly to a printing plate . This compares with the older technology, computer-to-film (CTF), where the computer file is output onto a photographic film.
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water , the offset technique employs a flat ( planographic ) image carrier.
Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. Examples include flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern advertising graphics whose ...
Real photo postcard. A typical 1940s–early 1950s black and white real photo postcard. A real photo postcard ( RPPC) is a continuous-tone photographic image printed on postcard stock. The term recognizes a distinction between the real photo process and the lithographic or offset printing processes employed in the manufacture of most postcard ...

Creo (company) Creo, now part of Eastman Kodak Company, was a Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada-based company, involved in imaging and software technology for computer to plate and digital printing. [ 1] The name derives from the Latin creo, "I create ." Creo was founded in 1983 and acquired by Kodak 22 years later on January 31, 2005.
Waterless printing is an offset lithographic printing process that eliminates the use of water or the dampening system used in conventional printing. [ 1] Unlike traditional printing presses, waterless offset presses do not use a dampening solution to clear the press of ink. [ 2] Proponents of the technology claim efficiency and ecological ...
The Prinergy system was designed from the ground up to automatically perform all functions on the data that are necessary to take a digital file through a series of workflow steps to produce a master plate, any one of offset, gravure, or flexo. The pages for a job are first processed (normalized) with sanity checks to ensure it will not cause ...
