Comprehensively understand the on-demand printing of digital printing
Our Garden Wind Spinner has a reasonable design, and a reasonable mechanical design allows him to rotate in the breeze, the bright metallic and reflective painting creates a visual sensation in the garden.
Compared with traditional printing methods, on-demand printing has the following characteristics:
1. On-demand/variable printing means that the quantity can be changed as required, and each page is variable in content.
2. Remote printing and proofing, printing and proofing through the Internet.
3. Achieve filmless direct platemaking technology.
4 waterless offset printing, no need to consider the ink balance, the environment temperature and humidity is easy to control, printing quality is good.
5. Electronic files are easy to save and can be used multiple times.
The three basic elements of on-demand printing are:
1)Whenever, that is, information that can be printed at any time, tomorrow or in less time, can be printed today;
2) wherver, any place can be printed, the same information can be printed on the spot in different printing plants at the customer's location, eliminating the need for print transportation;
3) Any Quantity, no matter how many prints, as few as one, more than one thousand, even more print can handle.
Second, the market position of POD products In the United States, the digital color on-demand printing capacity in the year 2000 has reached 54% of the total color activity, the first time in the short-run color live in the mainstream market threatens the traditional offset press. The popularity and development of digital color printing should be attributed to the continuous maturation of digital printing technology. The demand for consumables is getting lower and the cost is greatly reduced. For example, in 1994, the A3 size of A3 format was 0.55 cents, and by 2000, it was reduced to 0.1 cents. This is the main reason why digital printing coloring can capture mainstream printing jobs.
In China, according to the majority of color printing plants, more and more color jobs with a total number of 3,000 or less are being printed. Some people took Beijing as an example. In 2000, there were more than 500,000 trading companies and companies in Beijing, and more than half needed to print colored product brochures and related promotional materials. On an average basis, each house is calculated in 50 copies of 10 pages each, with a total output of 1,250 million copies and an output value of several hundred million yuan. The demand for printing on demand spreads across major shopping malls, restaurants, and restaurants. For example, the introduction of performance characteristics of various commodities, recipes for restaurants, restaurants, recipes, invitations, and so on. Some people calculated the individualized invitation cards for the newly married couple in Beijing each year. Taking 84,000 new couples in 1998 as an example, each pair is calculated on 50 invitations, if there is one third of the people Print personalized invitations, the total output of 1.4 million, each 6 yuan, the output value of 8.4 million yuan, 4 yuan per gross profit, profit 5.6 million yuan.
According to expert analysis, the future on-demand printing market generally includes the following major areas:
(1) E-commerce market, such as various manuals, commercial advertising conference materials;
(2) Product personalization services, such as providing personalized brochures and product descriptions for certain commodities, providing one-on-one services for customers;
(3) For the company's services, for example, providing different advertising, packaging and promotional materials for different customers.
(4) Online publishing The above four major areas have a huge market space in China.
Third, the choice of equipment and processes On-demand color printing according to market demand, can be roughly divided into two types: one is the color of the following 3000 copies of the same content of these prints, the printing time is calculated in days; the other The print volume is small and the personalization is very strong. The printing time is calculated in hours.
In the two situations mentioned above, the following printing methods are recommended.
The first way: using DTP system color separation laser phototypesetter output film, and then proofing, printing. This method is the shortest printing method with the lowest cost in China.
The second method: scanning, color separation, editing, typesetting using a DTP system, and outputting on any one of a zinc oxide plate, a water-based plate, sulfate paper, or a special film base coated with a hydrophilic layer using a 1200 dpi laser printer Printing plate, the printing plate is directly hung on the small offset printing machine to print the text or image. The advantage is that there is no need for film and less investment. The disadvantage is that the image quality is not high, color images need to be overprinted, and the overprinting of the monochrome offset printer without side and front gauges is not allowed.
The third way is: using a digital printer. This method still requires a scanner or a digital camera to capture the image, and then sends the captured image to a computer for color separation using image processing software (such as Photoshop) and graphic imposition and page design software (such as PageMaker). Editing, retouching, page designing, etc., and then transfer the graphic information to the digital printing press to output the color print.
