Computer to Plate

CTP ph Neutralization

With the advent of digital photography, Computer-to-Plate imaging systems (CTP's) have become quite common in many printing businesses. These new systems use lasers which enable the printer to produce plates with high-quality images. These plates then require processing with a high-PH solution. These solutions, because of their high-PH content and current compliance regulations, must be treated. There are a number of PH Neutralization systems on the market today that enable businesses to meet their compliance regulations in house. These units collect waste in holding tanks then treat it using a neutralizing solution to bring the PH level to acceptable compliance levels.

Besides the environmental benefits of recycling these units also offer benefits to the user. Having such a system virtually eliminates haul away and refining costs. They also eliminate the storage of potentially harmful chemicals as all waste is treated on-site.

Some of the manufacturers of these units offer Data-Bases that monitor your usage to help ensure you stay within compliance regulations.

The Imaging Network will work with businesses in finding the Ph neutralization system that works for them. We buy at significant discounts from various manufacturers of these units and are able provide very competitive prices to our customers. Corporate and National discounts are available.
