Film imaging is the process in which a negative or contact film is created from a digital image using light. This film serves as the template for the printing process and is primarily used in traditional lithography and the production of printing plates. The film is imaged using special machines, which transfer the print image onto the film.
In today’s print production, especially in offset and screen printing, film is still frequently used to create precise and detailed printing templates. The film plays a central role, ensuring that the final print image is transferred accurately and sharply onto the printing plate. Especially for high-quality printed products that require high color accuracy and detail, film remains indispensable.
