Digital Printing Application Trends

Huang Yisheng, general manager of Yongfeng Paper Co., Ltd., used to think that the notion that prepress digitalization can be referred to as digital printing seems to be a matter of course. In fact, at the beginning of the speech, General Manager Huang particularly mentioned the scope of digital printing. The vast majority, not just prepress, but also the transformation and electronicization of the printing service industry, that is, the printing service industry, are all included in its scope.

It mentions four key points in digitalization and printing itself: transfer and replication of graphics and texts, computer technology and printing technology, access transfer and digitalization of data copying, digital automatic printing and digital printing. In the first priority, it mentioned important concepts such as bits, bytes, resolution, pixels, network lines, network points, and data transmission speed; in the second point, the various items in the printing process were listed. The digital printing technology corresponding to the work, such as: DTP corresponding to graphic input, and CTP corresponding to platemaking, etc.; the relevant conditions related to the management environment of prepress digital file are mentioned in the first item. , including graphic and text integration, group edition, drawing and Other software, cross-platform software environment, CMS, database management and access, file compression and transmission, LAN management and long-distance transmission environment; fourth key The concept of Computer to Plate and Computer to Print is mentioned. There are four types of digital presses in terms of classification: plate-on-press printing machines, electronic phase printing machines, ink-jet printing machines, and thermal transfer printers. After that, it talks about the digitalization of the printing industry. It talks about the impact and transformation of the Internet on the printing industry. It also mentions that under such impact, some traditional printing technologyists may have unemployment. The former business will disappear and develop into a multimedia industry. In addition, the industry should also improve the management of internal and external networks and the management of CMS.

Mr. Huang later mentioned that CTP is a general trend. In terms of evaluation, the efficiency, quality, investment and consumables of CTP are much better than those of the traditional plate-making. From the perspective of the concept of workflow and database management, CTP is undoubtedly the better choice.

In addition, it also advocates automating production scheduling systems and processes from the east, making prepress, printing, and postpress processing smoother on the continuation, and subsequently integrating the management and application of the delivered services and database.

It also believes that the printing industry should be more diversified in its operations, such as: pre-press operations for multimedia production and online publishing; use of paper as a material for the use of composite materials; traditional transactions for online transactions; Strategic alliances and so on.

Moore believes that printing is only a small part of the document management. The printing industry may develop towards the document management industry to expand its own living space; Kinko`s is a POD company and its province is thinking about its own business projects. Diversification has become an online, real-time, interactive data management company.

In the e-industry business model, General Manager Huang emphasized the importance of creativity, and also mentioned the necessity of strategic alliances and cost control. In addition, in the POD business model, it is recommended that the POD environment should be created in a timely manner. The recent catalogs and individual products are good examples. In addition, it is necessary to create a sufficient number of services and market scale to automate the transaction and production process. In order to improve service efficiency and quality and control costs, it is necessary to establish an absolute competitive advantage in nearly one department.
