Question about CTP developers

Hello guys, just wanted to ask kung anu-ano ang mga magiging epekto ng mas mababang developing time kesa sa mas mataas na developing time? Thank you po sa mga sasagot.

Usually question about developing time in CTP is irrelevant. Processor is pre-program. Only your authorized service technician can alter it and sometimes even them cannot change it as some are factory programmed.

Mostly, in CTP we talked only about exposure setting.

and oh, you are very lucky if you can change your developing time.

Pero Alex, bakit sa CTF pwede mo i-adjust, pero sa CTP parang ayaw ipagalaw ng vendor. Pareho lang naman ang concept, di ba?

Almost no bearing kasi ang developing time sa plate. Kailangan lang dumaan sa developer para matanggal ang coating. Kahit sa conventional, haguran lang ng developer ang plate ayus na.

At walang "Dmax" sa plate.

pwedeng mabura pag over develop ( digital plates ). kung kulang naman sa time, hindi naman makaskas yong non image area.

Tama si Sir Billy. Eksaktong sagot sa tanong ng TS.


Pero sa CtP, hindi ito mangyayari kasi nga pre-program na ang processor. Naka-set na sa optimal developing time ang processor base sa mga accredited plates and chemical ng manufacturer ng processor. I'm not sure kung merong processor na may user control sa developing time.

Hindi ko rin alam, baka ayaw magpagamit ng ibang plates. Sa silver (violet) dalawa lang yata manufacturer nito so hindi na talaga kailangan.


@Billy,

Mali pala ako, na-generaralize ko. Sa thermal plates other processors pwede kontrolin ang processing speed. But still other distributors (or mostly) won't let you do this. Lalo na ngayon lakas na ng digital plates from China.

@ alex,

Meron kasing timing( dip to nip) na tinatawag nila.
That is for proper developing for each combination of chemical and plate.

This statement is ridiculous. Sir, you are misleading your readers.
Of course any processor can be adjusted.....

Pwede naman ma-adjust. Pero in this part of the world ayaw ibigay ng vendor ang password ng CTP and processor. Regards.

That is correct sir Larry, pwede iadjust ang processor. but usually, the recommended timing would come from the plate and chemical vendor. The only problem is if the vendor of the ctp would not give you the service dongle. you can not adjust the correct exposure on the CTP imager.


I am totally against to a ctp vendor that does not give you any acces to your devices. Para kang isda na nabingwit na di ka na makaalis.
