Overview

CTF (Computer to Film) is a process used in the printing industry to transfer digital images directly onto film. This technology is often utilized in prepress workflows to create film negatives or positives used in traditional printing plates, ensuring high-quality print outputs. It is a crucial step for high-resolution and color-accurate print production.
