NEWSPAPER CTP — MAKING THE LATE EDITION

Yet, the industry’s computer-to-plate (CTP) adoption curve has followed a rather conservative trajectory on the whole. A 2005 study published by the Print Industries Market Information and Research organization (PRIMIR) projected that 40 percent of newsprint publication printers had adopted CTP production so far. By comparison, the adoption rate for commercial printers with 20 or more employees ranged from 53 percent to 90 percent, depending on size category.
