CTP-computer direct plate making

CTP technology is a new technology that directly outputs data files from the computer to the printing plate. It saves the traditional process of printing, imposition, and printing, and has many advantages such as high accuracy of plate alignment and good dot quality. With the advancement of technology, CTP technology is also constantly developing, from the use of plate materials divided by visible light, thermal CTP system and purple laser CTP system and other types. From the exposure method, there are outer drum type, inner drum type, platform type, curved platform type and other types. The use of CTP technology simplifies the prepress platemaking workflow and promotes the transformation of the entire process.

Digital printing

Digital printing, also known as digital printing, is named according to the characteristics of its technological process. In the entire printing process, the content of the page is described by numbers, and transferred in the form of data files, and the printed matter is formed by digital imaging. Digital printing is a computer direct printing technology. Digital printing uses an imageable surface as a graphic carrier. This type of media is different from traditional printing plates. Its surface does not have the ability to permanently store information. It needs to be re-imaged every time a printed sheet is printed. Therefore, digitally printed originals can be variable numbers. information. Although DI (Computer Direct Imaging) printing also uses digital file format in the entire process, it still needs to use a printing plate and does not have variable printing information function.

Digital proofing

Digital proofing refers to a new type of proofing technology based on digital publishing and printing system, which processes page graphic information according to production standards and specifications and directly outputs color proofs in the process of publishing and printing, that is, using digital manuscripts to directly output printed proofs. It uses a large format printer to directly output proofs in a digital way instead of traditional proofing processes such as film making and printing. The digital proofing system is generally composed of a color inkjet printer or a color laser printer, and the color proofs are printed by color printing and simulated printing, and a proof sample is obtained with a digitalized manuscript (electronic file).

ERP definition

ERPERP ​​is usually called enterprise resource planning. In addition to the traditional MRPⅡ system of production management, finance, sales and other management functions, new managements such as quality management, equipment management, transportation management, distribution management, human resource management and decision support are added. Features. At present, the ERP system has added a series of new functions such as business process reorganization, supply chain, customer relationship management, etc., extending the function of ERP from the enterprise to the society. At present, ERP has 6 core ideas:

1. Help enterprises achieve system innovation.
2. "People-oriented" competition mechanism.
3. Think of the organization as a social system.
4. Focus on supply chain management.
5. Take customer relationship management as an important support for the front desk.
6. Realize e-commerce and fully integrate internal and external resources of enterprises.

ERP has remarkable characteristics such as integration, system, flexibility and real-time control. The introduction of ERP system in printing enterprises can effectively promote the scientific and modern management of enterprises.

High-fidelity printing

High-fidelity printing, as the name implies, is a highly realistic printing and copying technology with the original, which is the core of the fourth generation of printing technology. In the traditional four-color printing technology, because paper and ink cannot fully reproduce the color gamut of natural color manuscripts, it is impossible to fully restore the true colors of the natural world. With the development of technology, high-fidelity printing technology has emerged. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of square workers that can achieve high-fidelity printing.

1. In order to improve the saturation of certain colors on the printed matter, by adding pure, bright red, green, and blue purple on the basis of the four colors of C, M, Y, and K. Making traditional 4-color printing leap to 6-color, 7-color or even more, so that the printed image can produce more natural contrast and fresher color sense, which is a way to achieve high-fidelity printing.

2. Another way to achieve high-fidelity printing is to use FM screening technology, using more fine dots, so that the clarity and softness of the printed matter is improved. Traditional dot printing can only reach 150 ~ 175 lines / inch, and FM screening can achieve the effect of more than 300 lines / inch. The image will appear very delicate and realistic, close to people's memory color, this way Realistic printing can be achieved.

Synthetic paper

Synthetic paper, also known as polymer paper or plastic paper, is made of polyethylene and polypropylene as the main raw materials. It is extruded and stretched into a film, which is then processed into paper to give it the characteristics of natural paper, such as whiteness and printability Etc. while getting the material.
Synthetic paper has high strength and fold resistance. Humidity resistance; good smoothness, high whiteness and good printing performance; good water resistance, no damage after immersion in water, therefore, synthetic paper is widely used. In terms of printing and publishing, synthetic paper can print water-resistant newspapers, bookcases, maps, calendars, and cards. In terms of commercial packaging, it can be used to manufacture gift bags, suit bags, shopping bags, packaging containers, and can also be used for the outer packaging of food, medicine, and cosmetics. In construction, it can be used to make color overlay paper, etc.

Synthetic paper is also known as environmentally friendly synthetic paper for three reasons. One is that it is made of petroleum by-product polypropylene and natural stone powder, without using a trace of wood pulp, without damaging a green plant; second, polypropylene synthetic paper can be recycled many times, and the same quality of base paper can be reconstructed. Even if it is treated as garbage, it can be completely burned without generating toxic gases, which meets the environmental protection requirements of no secondary pollution; third, it does not cause industrial pollution in production. At present, in the international market, polypropylene synthetic paper packaging materials have replaced more than 70% of ordinary paper products.

Nuclear dual card anti-counterfeiting technology

The nuclear dual-card anti-counterfeiting technology belongs to the micro dual-card anti-counterfeiting technology. Because of its high uniqueness, the identification of true and false nuclear targets can reach "double hundred", that is, the true standard is 100% passed and the false standard is 100% intercepted. "Anti-counterfeiting technical language" has been confirmed as the most advanced anti-counterfeiting technology.

Its technical basis is to use tens of millions of nuclei to travel in the accelerator, and the nuclear track (0.01μm) formed by the random distribution is given to the carrier material, and the identification and inspection cards are made separately.

Light interference color change ink

Optical interference color-changing ink (referred to as optical color-changing ink, also known as optical color-changing ink) is a new type of ink with dynamic color-changing effect that came out in the 1990s. The pictures and texts printed with it can change different colors when viewed from different angles. Especially when observed at around 0 degrees and when observed at around 60 degrees, two distinct colors will appear. This color change effect comes from the light interference pigment in the ink.

The dynamic color change effect of the printed products of optical interference color change ink cannot be copied by high-definition scanners, color copiers and other equipment, and its design and production technology are extremely professional; the production process is complicated, the investment is huge, and it is difficult to imitate. Therefore, it is used by more than 70 countries in the world for currency counterfeiting. Since the 99th edition of RMB 100 used the ink, the anti-counterfeit mark has not been copied on the counterfeit currency, and has become an important mark for identifying fake RMB. In addition, it can also be widely used for anti-counterfeiting of all kinds of marketable securities, famous trademarks, certificates and bills, product packaging and other printed materials.

At present, only the United States can produce optical interference pigments internationally, and there are also a handful of companies that use American pigments to produce optically variable inks.

Electronic paper

Electronic paper is one of the super drop display technologies. Just as its aesthetic point of view is called electronic "paper", it looks similar to ordinary paper.

The electronic paper is coated with an electronic ink composed of countless tiny transparent particles, the diameter of which is only half the size of a human hair. The small particles contain black dye and some smaller white particles. The dye makes the transparent particles surrounding it appear black. Those smaller white particles can sense charges and move in different directions. When they are concentrated in a certain direction, they can make a certain surface of the black particles turn white. According to this principle, when this electronic ink is applied to paper, cloth, or other flat objects, people can make hundreds of millions of particles change colors as long as they are properly shocked. To change the patterns and characters that appear, this is the magic effect of electronic ink. Of course, the color of electronic ink is not limited to black and white, as long as the color of the dye and micro particles in the particles is adjusted, the electronic ink can display colorful colors and patterns. Once the content of the electronic paper is written, its content can be maintained even after the power is turned off, so ultra-low power consumption can be achieved, and the power consumption is less than 1/10 of the reflective liquid crystal.

CIP3 / CIP4

CIP3, the full name is "International Cooperation for Integration of Prepress, Press and Postpress" referred to as CIP3, and its composition concept originated in December 1993. The first draft of the file format was completed in September 1994, and the prototype was finalized for testing in December, which greatly increased the possibility of achieving the plan. Therefore, 15 companies including Adobe, Agfa, Fuji, Kodak, MAN Roland, Heidelberg, Polar and other pre-press, printing, The suppliers of post-press processing formally formed an alliance in February 1995. Smart is committed to promoting the vertical integration of pre-press, printing, and post-press processing. By October 1999, it had covered 39 suppliers including computer, operating system, software, pre-press, printing, and post-press processing equipment manufacturers. . This is another large-scale international printing research and development organization after the ICC International Color Consortium. The format developed by the alliance has been successively developed by the relevant manufacturers of the alliance since June 1997. At the Drupa 2000 printing exhibition, it can be seen that almost all printing-related hardware and software suppliers have supported the CIP3 specification.

CIP4, the full name is "International Cooperation for Integration Of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress", was formed by the merger of CIP3 alliance and JDF alliance on July 14, 2000. In principle, the content and structure of the CIP3 alliance remain unchanged, and its full name adds the PC "Process" in addition to the original 3 Ps.

Water transfer

Water transfer technology is an emerging technology that combines printing and painting. It uses the relative effect of water to transfer and print the surface of products. Using water transfer technology, printing can be performed on flat and three-dimensional curved surfaces, and the added value of the product is greatly improved on the basis of changing the texture of the material. At present, the technology is increasingly favored by manufacturers and consumers in the processing industry.

The use of water transfer technology can transform the flat pattern into a three-dimensional pattern, and the pattern has rich colors, clear layers and good simulation effects. It is suitable for decorating products with complex and variable surface shapes, and has significant social and economic benefits.

The applicable materials for water transfer technology are mainly plastics, such as wood-like imitation on the surface of materials such as ABS, PP, PET, PVC and PA, marble-like decoration, natural wood-like decoration on artificial wood surface, and color steel plate decoration It is used in the automotive industry, home appliance industry, communication or electronic equipment industry, architectural decoration, cultural and sports products, computer industry, household goods, etc.

At present, domestic equipment and consumables related to water transfer technology include: water transfer machine, water transfer film, water transfer paper, water transfer decoration materials, etc. Some printing shops are looking at the business opportunities of water transfer printing and specializing in the production of water transfer printing trademarks or other related products.

Electronic virtual axis

With the continuous development of the printing industry, the mechanical drive of the printing unit of the printing press is being replaced by the "electronic virtual axis" method. It uses multiple electronically controlled drive motors to provide power to each printing unit, and multiple independent motors replace one. The main motor drives each printing unit, paper receiving device, folding device or cutting device at the same time. At this time, electronic power is transmitted by the "electronic virtual shaft" instead of mechanical power. "Electronic virtual axis" technology is also called independent motor drive technology.

The use of "electronic virtual axis" to drive the printing system has many advantages: easy to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the printing unit, the manufacturing process is accelerated, the adjustment response of the unit is faster, the AC motor is easy to control and adjust, stable tape tension and reliable printing production , Solve the cumulative problem of mechanical vibration, easy to conduct off-site diagnosis, reduce maintenance and service costs, save energy, and achieve "clean" energy.

At Drupa 2000, almost all web-fed rotary printing machinery manufacturers have begun to adopt the "electronic virtual axis" technology, so that this technology has really begun to gain popularity and began to be used in major newspapers and commercial printing plants.

Location bronzing

Positioning hot stamping technology is a new technology applied to cigarette packs or other high-quality packaging products in the packaging field. It is mainly to stamp the hot stamping materials with regular patterns according to the hot stamping process, and to stamp the entire image onto the printed matter. The only fixed position.

The positioning hot stamping technology is mainly used in tobacco, cosmetics and other fields, and can meet the requirements of product decoration and anti-counterfeiting. In the past two years, various high-end tobacco factories have used this process on high-end cigarette packs to improve the grade of cigarette packs. The cigarette packages of famous brands such as Yunyan, Lanzhou, Fuzi and Haomao have the advantages of high product quality and strong anti-counterfeiting performance after using the positioning bronzing technology.

The domestic positioning hot stamping equipment is mainly imported round and flat hot stamping machines with high automation level. One is the German Stoll round hot stamping machine, which has high-precision anti-counterfeiting hot stamping function; the second It is a hot stamping machine produced by Swiss BOBST. The high-precision electronic registration system ensures accurate positioning and holographic hot stamping on banknotes and anti-counterfeit packaging.

At present, there are many printing manufacturers using positioning hot stamping technology, but it has not been widely popularized, mainly because imported equipment is expensive, and general packaging manufacturers have limited investment capacity and cannot afford it; although the price of domestic products is 1 / 5--5 of foreign products About 1/4, but it can not be compared with imported equipment in hot stamping accuracy, speed and running stability. In addition, the high price, long plate-making cycle and technical difficulty of positioning bronzing are also one of the factors that are currently not widely used in positioning bronzing technology.
