Ink prepress management cleaner production scheme

Production process: prepress

Project Name: Printing Prepress Management Clean Production Scheme

Program Classification: Process Improvement

Before improvement:

The traditional method does not pay enough attention to the prepress management of ink. Most manufacturers use manual management to manage the lack of a relatively complete and standardized management and control system in environmental safety, color standards, proofing systems, inventory control, usage records, and information systems. The cost of ink only accounts for a small part of the total cost of the printed matter, but if there is a problem with the management of the ink, it will cause a great deal of waste in the processing of paper products, even exposed in the downstream part of the value-added chain.

Improved:

The use of computer management systems and automatic product distribution systems is an important means of improving the management level of ink rooms. Most printing companies and ink houses should be equipped with 1-2 technical management personnel. They should be responsible for providing ink for printing machines. In addition, they should be responsible for color standards, purchase inks, manage inventory, manage waste films, summarize loss reports, and summarize usage records. And the most important record of the use of total volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

(1) Prepress ink processing: Prepress ink processing refers to a series of steps and procedures before the ink room technicians purchase ink and distribute the ink to the press operation team. Every company should formulate sound operating rules so that ink room technicians can clearly define their responsibilities, communicate well with personnel in other processes, and fully understand the difficulty of their work, so that they can properly manage inks and apply them in the most optimized way. Provided to the press operation class to meet production needs.

(2) Design of ink room: The ink room should maintain close contact with the ink manufacturer by means of the computer network system, and at the same time, it should establish a digital contact system with various departments such as production, management and sales of the company.

(3) Ink Room Management System: Regardless of the printing method, actual use, and type of printing machine, the ink room must establish a complete system that can control all key processes. The printing room of a clean production printing company shall formulate a complete management and control system for environmental safety, color standards, proofing systems, inventory control, usage records, and information systems.

The automatic ink dispensing system has several advantages:

1 Ink production The implementation of JIT automatic distribution system can help printing and paper processing companies provide ink quantitatively for each printing task in a timely manner. 2 More accurate supply of each order. Previously, ordered ink was always more than the actual demand. Because of concern that many accidental factors will lead to ink consumption beyond budget. With the automatic ink distribution system, ink can be added at the press of a button when ink is needed. This is extremely beneficial to reduce the recycling of old ink. 3 quality and stability. The automatic dispensing system has extremely high repeatability and can handle repeated orders easily. As a result, the chance of adjusting the color and the chance of producing a waste product are greatly reduced, so the ink inventory can be further reduced.

Energy efficiency:

Using an ink distribution system with a certain level of computer control and automation can better control ink quality and increase clean production levels. Printing and paper processing companies that install automatic ink dispensing systems can minimize the non-productive time of the press and can significantly reduce recycled ink. At the same time, the system can also enable the recycled old ink to be quickly reused. The automatic ink dispensing system can calculate the amounts of various components required to mix in a particular color of ink and precisely quantify these components.

Implementation considerations:

In addition, the ink house should do a good job in pre-press management and improve the technical level of the ink room in terms of color management, measurement of color, instrumentation, color matching steps, proofing, and ink mixing adjustment tolerance. This improves the prepress ink management level, which can guarantee the quality of post-printing and reduce the overall cost.

Investment amount and return period:

200-300 million yuan, back to the current period of 3-5 years.
