Analysis of the Main Points of the Hanging Net Process Printed by Commonly Used Books and Periodicals (II)

4 Total ink setting

The printing characteristics of the paper and the production speed of the printing press determine that the total amount of ink in the image cannot be too high. These must be adjusted in place before printing. In the professional image processing software photoshop, appropriate adjustment of printability control can be carried out, as shown in FIG. After the actual production comparison, adjust the parameters as follows:

(1) The total ink volume of newsprint printing is generally controlled at 240% to 260%.
(2) The total ink volume of coated paper is generally controlled at 280% to 350%.
(3) The total ink volume of offset printing is generally controlled at 290% to 340%.
(4) The total ink volume of light coated paper is generally controlled at 280% to 300%.
(5) The total ink volume of light paper printing is generally controlled at 300% to 340%.

The setting of this value is determined by the production process of each unit and the actual printing situation, depending on the dot gain rate at the time of printing. If the network expansion rate is too large (≥20%), then the value must be reduced. Otherwise, the dark tone will be easy to get stuck, and the level of medium dark tone loss will be serious. If the network point expansion is normal (≤10%), it can be increased appropriately. This value ensures that the dark part of the tone is full and fully represents the level of the dark areas, which is beneficial to the reproduction of the entire tone. In addition, it should also be based on different paper, printing presses to select the appropriate ink.

5 Mastery of printing technology

Advanced printing equipment is controlled by the operator who has mastered the relevant printing technology. Prepress, printing, and postpress processing must be considered in an integrated manner. If improper operation is performed, even a network with a high number of screens is added (out of 250 to 300 lpi CTP) may not be able to print high-quality batch products. Only by formulating a strict color management system and standardizing operations can we meet the requirements of the printing market. The following author lists some examples:

1 A customer admires CTP's advanced plate making technology, requiring its products (regular products, 65 g light coated paper double-sided printing four-color, 16 open product promotional leaflets, 1 print, 200,000 volumes) using 250lpi CTP printing . Due to the short use of CTP and lack of experience, when it was printed in 50,000 to 60,000 copies, the plate was severely grave, dark shadow paste, and high light network were lost. Only the CTP plate was reprinted, and a total of 3 sets of printing plates were printed before printing. The effect is not better than printing with 2400dpi/175lpi film PS prints. After analysis, the surface roughness of the paper is not smooth enough, and the CTP version is too high to cause the network to print. When the same type of paper was used again for printing, it was replaced with a 2400dip/175lpi CTP plate. The phenomenon of excessive grinding speed disappeared, and the printing effect was very good. The customer was satisfied.

2 A captain operates a Heidelberg CP2000 four-color machine that was manufactured in 2002 and has a high quality book cover. The material uses 2400dpi/175lpi CTP plate, imported 200g/m2 double copper paper, Japan four-color ink. Due to the tight production cycle, the CP2000 was temporarily interposed. When the school version found that the high-light part of the printed matter had lost its net, the dark tone was generally not full. After the pressure was increased, the printing parameters were still normal. When the captain was puzzled by the fact that the author checked the machine's work record, he found that the machine had printed coloring pages for more than 50 days. The blankets had not been replaced, and many of them had been indented. At the time, only the rubber reductant had been applied and the elasticity of the blanket had deteriorated. After being reminded to replace the new blanket, the problem was solved and the cover was successfully printed.

3 A cover product provided by the customer electronic documents and digital proofs for the four-color (large field black) + large field gold, silver ink spot color printing, entrusted the author of the printing unit. Due to the negligence of prepress work and the inability to do effective printability, there were problems in printing: Although the corresponding ink volume was increased, the black, gold and silver ink colors still did not meet the requirements, and the ink was not flat and full, and then increased. The amount of ink that is produced at the end of the dirty, paste version, can only re-adjust the film another print reprint, in order to achieve the effect of customer requirements. The specific adjustments are as follows: black solid plus 50% green net, gold field plus yellow 50% magenta 20% green 20%, silver solid plus 15% black net for compensatory bottoming, and in black, gold and silver ink A small amount of bright paste was added to increase the gloss of the printed image.

4Light printing paper, also known as “light paper”, has a paper color that conforms to the environmental trend of international paper with whiteness no higher than 84 degrees. It uses original colors to make people comfortable in reading, and light-printed books and magazines are not easy to return to yellow. The paper is 20% thicker than the heavy offset paper, which is quite luxurious. It is currently used in books, textbooks, and high-end magazines. Because it is a new paper material, we have not been able to grasp its printability when it was printed. When four-color printing is performed, the 175 lpi of the net is too high, and the high-light becomes lighter, and the dark gray hair is easier to paste. The whole layout is extremely dark, so it is changed. For the hanging net 150 lpi, and the image is properly opened to contrast, sharpening and increase the saturation, using good ink printing, the printing effect has been significantly improved, according to the contract completed the printing task.
