Service Shell CTP Host is a background service developed by Creo to manage and coordinate communication with computer-to-plate (CTP) devices in prepress environments. Running as a persistent host process, it bridges workflow applications and the CTP engine, handling job queuing, device control, status monitoring, and error reporting. By centralizing these functions, it helps ensure reliable plate output, consistent configuration, and streamlined production.
Designed for continuous operation on a connected workstation or server, Service Shell CTP Host supports automation, remote diagnostics, and detailed logging for troubleshooting. It is typically used by prepress operators and service engineers to maintain stable, efficient CTP operations in print production facilities.
Service Shell CTP Host is developed by Creo. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.8. The name of the program executable file is ServiceMonitor.exe.
