With increasing popularity of CTP, Computer to Plate, in Japan, people seem to be enjoying the practical advantage of the system. Because introduction of the system will allow them to drop some processes such as film-output and analogue plate-making process, there is a high expectation for reducing cost & delivery period. In addition, it is said that elimination of those middle processes will bring about higher quality in printed matters. Above-mentioned advantage in quality improvement assures us not only the quality improvement of usual printed matters but also the possibility of advanced printed matters with the new screening technology. This paper will introduce the new screening technologies that produce the higher quality printing with CTP.
