Editor's note: China's printing industry entered a period of rapid development in the late 20th century. Relying on the promotion from high-tech international printing. Especially in recent years, with the maturity and perfection of CTP technology, Chinese printing is entering the era of thermal and violet laser from silver salt. However, this step is somewhat hesitant, staggering and even puzzled. What is the prospect of CTP technology in the printing market? In the face of harsh and fierce market competition. How can Chinese printing companies use the internationally advanced technical force to find a road to technological innovation and market breakthrough suitable for their own development? As a world-renowned plate material supplier. Fuji Starlight always leads in the field of CTP equipment and plate materials. Not long ago, the company organized a group of experts from the front line of printing production with rich practical experience and superb theoretical level, aiming at the problems and phenomena encountered in the application of high and new technology. Conduct face-to-face explanations and exchanges with the technical staff of the printing enterprise, blowing a warm breeze for the printing enterprise. Digital profit margin expansion Deng Guojun The general manager of the business system department of Fuji Xerox China Co., Ltd. is solely responsible for the high-end products and graphic arts industry of Fuji Xerox China. In 1998, he served as regional director of Fuji Xerox East China. Fuji Xerox is a member of the Fuji Film Group. Its main products are production-type black-and-white publishing systems, production-type color digital printing systems, and production-type black-and-white printing systems. In the 1990s, Do-cuTech, an on-demand publishing system, was produced. In 2005, the iGen3 color digital commercial printing system was launched. Fuji Xerox's growth in China's digital printing market originated from the customer's application in product manuals, transaction bills, and insurance contracts. Its rapid development has benefited from construction project bidding documents. It leads the print production industry with leading digital printing technology and document solutions. I think. Digital printing is the supplement and improvement of traditional offset printing. It is not only printing, but also a new printing business. It is a timely business model, timely technology and timely workflow. Digital printing is also a new bright spot in the printing industry, it can realize on-demand printing, value-added digital services and provide business process solutions. The growth rate of on-demand printing of digital printing in 2006 is 14%; it is estimated that the proportion of printing jobs that need to be completed within 24 hours by 2010 will reach 20%; the current short-term printing demand of less than 5000 copies in color printing accounts for 78% . This market is worth $ 1.2 trillion. Among them, the business for marketing accounted for 72%, the production and operation business accounted for 18%, and the human resources and publishing business each accounted for 5%. For example, in the short 12 months, the American letterpress printing company has tripled its digital printing business; ColoCentric introduced the iGen3110 color digital commercial printing system and attracted more than 130 digital printing services in the first year. Customers, which generated nearly US $ 1 million in operating income; ForFire is the largest printing company in the United States that provides professional services to the retail industry.

[NextPage] Li & Fung's color management experience She Wencheng Senior Prepress Manager, Li & Fung Accor Group, Deputy Manufacturing Manager, Colourscan, Singapore (14 years) Li & Fung Accor (SNP) is part of Singapore National Printing Group. It is a multi-element printing and packaging company. The core business of printing is extended to the entire Asia-Pacific region and provides one-stop services, including pre-press periodical to post-distribution services. The main business includes: hardcover books, children's books, color magazines, business Printing, color packaging boxes and corrugated boxes. Speaking of color management, if you browse the Internet, there are more than 5 million pieces of information, and information in this area is quite developed. In my opinion, color management is the precise control and management of color transmission in the production process, in order to achieve a perfect copy result. In short, what customers get, what they will get in the final printing. This is a simple wish, but it involves a wide range of topics. Printing companies generally believe that color management is a matter of pre-press and has nothing to do with printing, but it is not. For printing companies to truly achieve digital and standardized production, they must incorporate printing into color management. The key to the implementation of color management depends on the final result of printing. At present, the quality problems of printing companies, especially color problems, are very serious. There are many reasons: some are lack of communication between publishing houses and printing companies; some are due to the loss of talent and the quality of printing is reduced; some are not standardized practices, both film and film There are electronic documents, both digital drafts and traditional drafts, which make it difficult to trace colors. Recognizing colors correctly is the premise of color management. The judgment of color is very subjective. Different people, different mental states of the same person, and different color environments will cause inaccurate judgment of color. In addition, packaging and label printing have high requirements for color matching, and visual sensitivity is closely related to human sensitivity to different colors. There are also some impression colors, and some common names make it difficult to identify colors. If yesterday our customers want to make pink ink colors, we can't figure out what color and ratio of pink ink colors are. Even what color is BL, is it blue? Is it black? How to carry out color management? First of all, we must understand the scope and purpose of color management, and refer to relevant printing industry standards, learn to use "digital" to express, copy and manage color, and establish a correct printing color management system. The most important thing is to jointly maintain and practice the entire color system. The color management technology foundation is based on the correction of various devices in the color printing system, with the device color characteristic file as the core, and the products are printed through the color matching between the devices to achieve the correction and correct reproduction of color, gradation and clarity . At present, the unstable factors in color management mainly come from changes in the production environment and equipment aging. To carry out correct color management, it is necessary to regularly calibrate and correct the technological process and update the equipment regularly. The implementation of color management is not difficult. It is necessary to unify pre-press, printing, and printing equipment to establish a good implementation environment, and the most important thing is to establish a sense of color management for everyone and strictly follow the specifications. In this regard, I think the simpler the better. Let professional people do professional things. SNP's experience is to do a good job of pre-press standardization work in advance, prevent it in advance, from "management results" to "management factors", and adopt different processes according to different requirements of customers. And quantify each specification. Bamboo Outdoor Fencing,Bamboo Wall Panels Outdoor,Outdoor Bamboo Wall,Bamboo Panels Outdoor ZHEJIANG JIAHE BAMBOO TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD , https://www.zhuart-bamboo.com
