Printing and Technology (below)

Sixth, screen printing accuracy and breadth of use increase Screen can be used in color printing 175-line technology, network reproduction and concentration even better than the print, so applied in a lot of personalized mobile phones, electronic supplies, very pleased. On the other hand, electronic products such as circuit boards and LCD-TFT digital camera parts with overprint accuracy of 5μ or less also test the repeatability of the screen printing machine and reproduce the accuracy of the print pattern. For large-scale posters and banner printing, the use of multi-color machines in the middle of the country to link UV-UV drying systems allows the work to be carried out in one go, significantly increasing production capacity. However, in addition to a large number of posters and thin-plate printing, small-volume posters use giant inkjet printing. Replaced by 100 or less markets, mainly because the project is not used for plate making and printing, and it is also possible to use platform-type ink jets on concave and convex thick materials, and screen printing can be used for a short period of time. Screen printing machine's automated production system is the most urgent need, because the high efficiency requirements of the electronics factory is the focus of screen printing plant research and development. Screen printing uses direct inkjet imaging and has not yet replaced filmmaking.
Seventh, variable print printing is the fastest growing part of the toner, ink jet and electronic ink, is the main mode of printing without variable version of the three main ways. The toner is used by companies such as Heidelberg, Quanluo, HP, EPSON, Xeikon, IBM, Nipson, Oce and so on. It has 6000 A4 printing capacity per hour and fine output of 1200dpi. It can change the printing pattern completely or locally, and the cost can be set. With the need for great flexibility, we will work harder and cheaper in the future, in order to fight for a larger number of printing jobs, and the glossiness and thickness of the imprint will be similar to those of the lithography. It will be difficult to discriminate the plain or color with the naked eye. Powder printing, but it needs to be strengthened in the processing of pre-files, and the maximum size is only 500 × 700 mm, and still need larger size for those who use the full-scale printing of the chrysanthemums. In the future, the printing ink of the toner will be more refined and the color concentration will be further improved.
Electronic inks are available in Indigo and Toyo Ink Elcosy. Indigo is capable of printing 8,000 copies of A4 per hour on speed. On the other hand, it can be printed with a light-colored auxiliary dot method, and can be photo-added with a stencil film to achieve photo quality. Roll-up Omnuis trademark printing method, do a variety of changes in content, serial number and color change number anti-counterfeiting features, in the future increase in size (especially wide), if the 28-inch (720mm) can print all-printed chrysanthemum In response to short-term demand, it is still stuck in a high-priced market with slow speed and high cost, which cannot be popularized. The ToyoInk Elcosy print is an electro-magnetic (ink-coagulative adhesion) printing method with a machine width of 600mm and a speed of 350 feet (105 meters) per minute. The cost can be low and the material adaptability is strong. , 6 years have not yet been commercialized.
Inkjet printing is a very mature and practical technology, regardless of thermal foam and piezoelectric methods are not the same, the size of the size from photos to large posters, and even high-speed inkjet production inkjet printing, micro needle point has reached 4800dpi resolution, large The poster also has a resolution of 360 dpi. The inkjet printing using UV drying is excellent in light resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion. It is a big poster, no ink-absorbing surface, heavy slate, steel plate, wooden board, etc. The important printing method of the material.
In the wide range of 1 meter above and below the printing machine, the printing industry has been very popular for proofing work. In the future, there will be a market for poster production and large-scale wedding photo printing. In particular, after the album is printed, the page layout and large-scale printing exhibition will be available. There is still considerable market space. Scitex's high-speed printheads have a very mature market for variable information printing after computerized report printing. The printing press formed a high-speed full-color print, with a width of 22 inches (550mm), a speed of 150 meters per minute, and 360 dpi resolution. The future will certainly be more refined and the speed will increase. In the past decade, the capabilities of inkjet heads have advanced more than a thousand times. The future use of semiconductor process inkjet heads must be larger in size and refined. This is expected.
Using e-paper and electronic ink, which can be repetitively changed in phase, one day can become a book mode. Each time you reload different information without waste paper, the whiteboard in the classroom can be written by different teachers. Its small particle components, due to the induction of different polarities, form a color or an achromatic effect. Once reintegrated into a “white paper”, it is of great significance in environmental protection. The printing industry has become a page information provider. By. This type of paper can be used on merchandise, warehouses, and billboards to change prices or content at any time without rewriting.
Eighth, security and anti-counterfeit printing and printing equipment and technologies have been fully enhanced. Traditional four-color printing trademarks, packaging and manuals have no anti-counterfeiting effect. They must use six-color and seven-color high-speed fax color printing to be different. In addition, the use of laser holographic adhesive labels Or bronzing, it also has its effect, but the magic trail fades, and soon may have to find more fine interference wave security pattern before. The high cost of gravure printing also has certain anti-counterfeiting effect. Therefore, the color is thick and the fine carving lines are there. There is a deep layer of anti-counterfeit effect under high-tech. Although the embossing and watermarking techniques are old and effective methods, such as the perforation of stamps, which are punched by millions of yuan per mold, it is not easy to imitate. In short, if the cost does not increase too much and imitation people are not easy to imitate, the most important thing is that without tools, ordinary people can tell with their eyesight that it is the focus of anti-counterfeiting, but out of new technology methods, they will be imitated within a certain period of time. This is the anti-counterfeit focus to be updated from time to time.
IX. Changes in the printing market and changes in the printing industry from the original manufacturing industry to the value-added industries of information dissemination, packaging, and industrial applications. How to deal with the social, market, and value-added chain disruptions, the market is often frustrated, and profits are diminished. Change to nothing, if you stick to the original scope is bound to lose everything. Twenty years ago, the birth rate was less than half of that of the present. The textbook industry was greatly reduced due to children attending school, and the government adopted an open but tightly controlled price effect. The original lucrative market left only a handful of people struggling.
How to find niche-based production projects in the new market, such as design, processing, three-dimensional printing, and variants that cannot be done by others, still has room for development. UV-UV printing on plastic plates has been exported for a year. More than one million US dollars worth of business, similar to LCD-TFT color filter printing, direct lithographic printing of larger thickness corrugated paper, free printing ink interferometric image reproduction, etc., are rare and delicate in the market, so we must find and even develop New technologies are applied in the market. Because the niche market is constantly changing and updating, we must be able to overcome technical difficulties, do a good job of service, and master its own "core skills" to enhance and apply, and more importantly, introduce new equipment and technologies at a critical moment to the market. The first step is to create profitable sustainable development requirements.
