CRON, a leading group corporation, has many years devoted itself to the research & development, production and sales of high-precision pre-press and print equipment.
Founded in 1992, CRON soon gained a good reputation for its well-known CP series colorful small card offset press, which is widely in use in China today. Meanwhile, CRON produced more equipment for the whole PVC card making system, such as Printing-down Machine, Ultraviolet-ray Solidification Machine, Laminating Machine, Die-cutting Machine and so on.
CRON has enjoyed a great achievement not only in print field but also in pre-print field. CRON produced CF-2400 series highly reliable laser Imagesetter in 1993. Very soon, China's printing market was pleasantly surprised by CRON's ACF series 3600dpi fully automatic online Imagesetter, which was completely made by CRON.
At the end of 2000, CRON began to engage in CTP technologies. Its automated Polysetter is getting more and more popular now. We also tried photopolymer CTP, and finally aimed at R & D of thermal CTP. The first CRON thermal CTP was born in 2006, and after one-year’s trial use in printing factory we made practical improvement, and launched it into market at “Print China” in April 2007. This is the first CTP machine completely made by a Chinese enterprise, and this is the first CTP machine with its own property right in China, thus it caught immediate attention of the whole world. CRON thermal CTP has been in hot sales until now.
CRON has obtained five patents and CE approval already. It was granted "Scientific and Technological Creation" prize by China Government in recognition of its excellent achievement in this field. CRON is now recognized as the best brand in China's instant printing industry.
