Printing Technology Development Trends (4)

Sales of simulated color proofing materials will continue to decline, but will increase in some developing countries. The color inkjet proofer has the characteristics of reliable performance and convenient use. With the improvement of the quality and performance of color inkjet proofing equipment, it will soon become the main digital color proofing equipment adopted by various countries in the world.
In addition, PDF format files can be transmitted via the network, which also has a great influence on the traditional color proofing. It can also be used as proofing tools. It can not only soft proof PDF files, but also output on the local desktop color inkjet printer as needed. Color proofs. Figure 13 shows the consumption trend of simulated color proofing from 2002 to 2006.


2. Network Digital Printing System Current Book Printing Solutions:
(1) Problems existing in current production methods a There are a large variety of publications and 1800 new varieties are added each year, and there is a large gap in the output of each variety. Inventory pressure is great and management is difficult.
b Many traditional printing processes, high error rates, long processes, and long production cycles.
· Due to the limitations of existing devices, it is difficult to produce short-page books with a large number of pages and fewer copies.
· Using traditional offset printing, the flexibility and timeliness of books and periodicals are greatly limited.
c High overall cost 1 Production cost of books and periodicals • Some books and periodicals that do not require large amounts of printing must increase the amount of prints to meet the demand for traditional print start-up printing, resulting in waste and shortage of inventory.
· Due to the inability to accurately forecast the demand for books and publications, long-run printing must be redundant, resulting in increased capital and inventory.
· Additional fees must be paid to meet the timeliness requirements of certain books and periodicals.
· When a typesetting error is found in the production process, the modification time is long and the cost is high, which affects the publishing cycle.
2 Transportation Costs of Books and Periodicals • Long-print production has a long production cycle and high costs in the field.
3 inventory costs of books and magazines · Saturated inventory causes new books and magazines to be stored without space, inventory is too large, and management costs are increased. It takes a long time to find the goods and increases the manpower burden. If you do not want to find it, it will lead to repeated production or a drop in income; the throw may not be thrown away because it cannot be found, and the area of ​​the warehouse will be wasted.
4Increase in the hidden costs of books and periodicals The periodicity of updating books and periodicals leads to long-term occupation of liquidity.
· Clearing out-of-date books and publications has increased human and capital investment.
Due to the long production cycle of books and periodicals, some books and periodicals are out of stock and cannot be supplied in time, which results in a drop in revenue.


(2) Digital Printing Solutions and Process Analysis The goals of digital printing solutions are:
Shorten the production cycle from several days to several hours, and ensure the synchronization of domestic technology information with the latest international technology;
· Shorten the production process. After finishing the last minute to modify the typesetting, the finished product can be directly output without any procedures such as filming, plate making, printing, paging, and cutting. The last minute before printing can be modified or produced after the sample is modified, without modification costs and high production efficiency.
· Eliminate the hidden costs of printing short-length documents The production process is short, the process is simple, and the cost is easy to control.
· Improve printing quality and achieve rapid color printing using digital technology to ensure fast, accurate copying of black and white color documents.
· Improve the ease of use of equipment The equipment has a high degree of automation. Those who have basic computer knowledge can operate through basic training and have low labor intensity.
Provide more applications than existing methods. Because of the simplicity, convenience, and low cost of digital technology and network technology, it can meet the user's requirements that were previously difficult to complete or even impossible to complete, making the user's own job even better. .
(3) Digital Printing Cost Analysis From Figure 15, we can see that the single-sheet printing cost is constant; while the traditional printing single-sheet printing costs decrease with the increase of the printing amount, and the cost balance between the two is at 1000. About this amount, it is more economical to use digital printing below this amount, and beyond this amount, the cost of traditional offset printing is lower. Therefore, the market position of digital printing is mainly in the short-run printing market.
