Construction Of The Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) In CTP Workflow

The CTP technology is an important topic of research and application during the era of digital printing. It's also a good chance for graphic art to change from the traditional mode to a modern one. So how to apply the CTP efficiently and reasonably in order to throw out its superiority has become an key important research.The paper makes deep studys on the base of the CTP system and its work- flow construction. According to the standardization principle, the paper analyzes the production mode about some typical products in printing corporation. Besides it puts forward a basic method to conceive a comprehensive and self-contained standard work system, studys on technical flow, work mode and its excising methods in CTP work flow, conceives a bran-new idea and method about CTP application—CTP-SOP system. The paper chooses one of the most hard techniques in CTP-SOP system that is digital proof-SOP as an example to do study and evaluating, and finally achieves a good result for industry producing. The result has good value of guidance and application both in helping printing company catch on the new CTP technique and expand its application. Besides, the mode-analysis method raised in this paper has good practical value for exploiting multimode service about printing corporation based on the CTP technique.
