BOCICA CTP‑S Thermal Plate
Double‑coating technology that redefines print quality for UV and conventional offset printing.
In offset printing, the plate is where quality begins. Whether you're printing high‑end commercial catalogues, intricate packaging, or long‑run magazines, every sheet depends on a reliable, precision‑engineered CTP plate.
BOCICA CTP‑S is engineered to meet the demands of modern print shops — combining a high‑quality aluminium substrate with an innovative double‑layer coating that delivers exceptional performance across both UV ink and conventional ink applications.
This guide breaks down the technology, specifications, and real‑world advantages of the CTP‑S plate — so you can see exactly what it brings to your pressroom.
Unlike traditional single‑layer plates, the CTP‑S features a dual‑layer structure that separates imaging and durability functions:
This design allows each layer to be independently optimised — delivering superior ink‑water balance, reduced dot gain, and extended plate life compared to single‑coat alternatives.
The CTP‑S is designed for easy integration into existing thermal CTP workflows. Below are the key parameters for optimal performance.

Optimised sensitised layer delivers sharper dot edges while reducing environmental impact and minimising operator exposure compared to traditional plates.
Advanced aluminium treatment ensures a uniform, fine‑grain structure and dense oxide layer, improving plate durability and guaranteeing accurate dot reproduction — reducing production costs.
Easy to operate with a flat‑lying design that optimises workflow efficiency. Compatible with most 830 nm thermal platesetters — no equipment changes required.
CTP‑S is designed for demanding commercial and packaging printing environments where quality and consistency are non‑negotiable:
If your shop runs 830 nm thermal CTP and needs a plate that handles both UV and conventional inks with equal consistency, CTP‑S is a proven choice.
The BOCICA CTP‑S thermal plate combines double‑layer technology, eco‑friendly chemistry, and robust press durability — all at a competitive cost.
