Match the platesetter to the pressroom
CTP selection starts with maximum and minimum plate sizes, plate thickness, press punch requirements, expected plates per hour and whether multiple presses share the same prepress line.

DETAILED OVERVIEW
What to know about Fujifilm CTP.
02
Automation level
A lower-volume shop may prefer simple manual loading, while continuous production can justify cassette or automated loading. Bay Digital can help size automation to actual daily plate demand.
03
Workflow and RIP integration
The platesetter is only one part of the system. We can integrate workflow/RIP output, server storage, device interfaces and plate-room procedures so production is supportable end to end.
04
Installed Fujifilm systems
For existing equipment, we can review operating-system dependencies, network connectivity, workflow compatibility and realistic lifecycle options before recommending replacement.
