We quickly found that CTP, though heralded as the answer to all problems, was woefully inefficient in a short-run book plant like ours, where we produced hundreds of thousands of plates per year. We could still spread film across multiple frames, and knock out 20 to 30 plates per hour at each frame, while our new CTP device had to "RIP and image" each expensive thermal plate at roughly eight to 10 [plates] per hour. We added more platesetters, and upgraded, but still our plates per hour (PPH) in CTP remained well under the curve.
