On the intelligence of post-press processing

The popularization and application of high-tech computers and networks in the printing area has enabled the printing industry to move from pre-press graphic production, plate-making, management to digitalization, networked printing to automated post-press processing. The road of integrated production, so that quality, speed, form, etc. all meet people's needs more. Intelligent printing has changed the defects of traditional printing, and further improved the quality of printing products, which has broken the way for the rapid development of the printing industry. Nowadays, with the gradual popularization of intelligent printing in pre-press and in-print, it has begun to land in post-press processing and rapidly expand, so that the post-press processing developed by the bottle pre-printing industry has gradually embarked on the high-tech rule. ,foreseeable. Intelligentized Indian drama will be the main direction of the future development of the Indian government.

Technological development and fierce market competition. Requires printing to develop in the direction of faster, better and cheaper. After pre-press and printing are digitized, intelligentized and networked, post-press processing has become a bottleneck that restricts the rapid development of the printing industry, such as magazines For printing and catalog printing, customers hope that high-speed and high-quality installation can be carried out without increasing costs or at a lower cost. This trend is determined by customer requirements for rapid, personalized, and targeted, and it is also the most important thing for market competition. As for the printing units, speed has become the basis of competition. The first quality is the guarantee of competition and the key to ensuring the long-term development of the post-press processing industry. The traditional post-press processing speed and quality are not satisfactory, therefore, the development of the entire printing industry when post-press processing automation and intelligence is very important.

1. Automation of post-press processing

The focus of post-press processing automation is to upgrade and upgrade paper-bound perfect binding interlockers / linkage lines, hardcover interlockers / linkage lines, die-cutting machines, paper cutters, etc. with high-tech and advanced practical technologies. Improve its level of automation, intelligence and linkage. Ensure the stability and reliability of quality, improve quality and efficiency. The intelligent equipment must be equipped with an intelligent system. To make the post-press processing flow smooth, it is necessary to eliminate the gap between the various processes, strengthen integration, shorten the cycle and extend the field. Nowadays, post-press processing has been extended to the mailing part, that is, post-press processing is responsible for all mailing information, from address inkjet or labeling to sorting and packaging and then sent to the postal department. These sorting and delivery technologies shorten the time for printed products to leave the press. If the printed matter can be prepared for direct processing, the working cycle will be greatly shortened.

In recent years, many units have invested a lot of money in pre-press, printing and flash printing, and have achieved gratifying benefits. But for units that have little or no investment in post-press processing, they can only get very little output and cost increases. This is bound to strengthen the emphasis on the post-press processing part, such as the application of post-press processing automation technology. First, the automation of post-press processing can save money. Most equipment has an automatic adjustment function instead of manual labor. The operator only needs to adjust a few buttons on the console to control the processes of folding, glue binding or thread locking, hot stamping, laminating, cutting, etc. These generally require new and advanced machinery and equipment. For example, the new folding machine has a zero adjustment function to automatically adjust the bending plate. This function allows the operator to fine-tune the printing plate as long as the knob is turned, instead of removing the roller as before (at least two talent lines) ). The numerical control of the console saves a lot of time. At present, the level of automation and intelligent control of equipment such as die cutting machines, paper cutters, saddle stitching staplers and other equipment is constantly improving, such as data communication between multiple programmable controllers of die cutting machines, LCD intelligent operation display screen, Man-machine dialogue; use optical fiber sensor to detect cursor, precise positioning, digital servo. Holographic aluminum foil surface tension control.

Hot stamping holographic machinery precision manufacturing technology, etc., are still far behind the advanced level. Another example is the cutting speed of the paper cutter, large color screen display, graphical menu, multiple language selection, fault display, automatic loading and unloading and other functions have been greatly improved. High-end paperback interlocking machine, high-end hardcover interlocking machine, high-end folder-gluing machine, bag making machine, high-end glazing machine, round die-cutting machine, high-end cutting machine, carton production line, dry and wet laminating machine, ticket production line The level of automation and intelligent control has also developed to a considerable height. Some manufacturers, such as Heidelberg and Man Roland, already have corresponding products on the market. Appearance packaging is also seen as a good way to save costs, but a coherent workflow also achieves its purpose. Current third-party systems, such as QTI's products, allow printing and binding to be controlled from a single console. To increase efficiency, the future workflow includes all printing processes. CIP3 was born for this. The CIP3 system is based on international standards. The international standard is called pre-press, printing, and post-press integrated collaboration. CIP3 means unification between pre-press, printing, and post-press, shortening job preparation time. It was initiated by Heidelberg and is now supported by 33 manufacturers and a printer.

In the prepress and printing fields, CIP3 has been applied, such as adjusting the amount of ink and controlling the color. Currently Polar Compucut, StahlfolderompuFold and MBO Navigator all support this system. As for the next generation standard CIP4, it contains all the features of CIP3 plus Adobe's standard file format JDF. In addition to containing printed information, CIP4 also contains the entire workflow and feature descriptions on different platforms. Doing so can control process variables and improve quality.

The cutting machine illustrates the development trend of ergonomics. The development of linkage, digitization and intelligentization of the cutting system will greatly reduce the operation time and improve the quality. According to estimates, its comprehensive efficiency is more than 2001 for ordinary individual cutting machines, and it can reduce overall costs and stabilize operations. Equipment for adjusting paper, such as stacking machine, paper collision machine, and waste collection system all reduce the operation time and improve the control accuracy. The goal of the cutting system is to increase efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

The mobile paper feeder currently popular in Europe can transfer the paper feed mechanism from the printing press to other processes (such as folding machine) without having to reload the paper on the folding machine, which can save time and Reduce labor intensity. [Next]

2. Diversification of post-press processing

In the intelligent development of post-press processing, diversified post-press processing is also an important issue. Printers strive to provide consumers with more effective processes and equipment, as do post-press processors. In recent years, many post-press processors have added procedures on equipment, UV glazing, laminating, folding / gluing, and even finishing printing operations in post-press processing, which has enhanced the competitiveness of post-press processing. For example, rotary bronzing and gravure printing have opened up new markets. At present, rotary bronzing mainly includes narrow web rotary bronzing and single sheet rotary bronzing. The bronzing unit for narrow web roll bronzing is used in gravure printing machines. With the development and speed of bronzing technology. Gravure printing presses can already be produced at low cost and high speed. The market for narrow web roll bronzing is extremely broad, especially for instant printing, such as trademark and cartoon printing. Large-scale trademarks can be combined with decorative processes such as bronzing and embossing in narrow-format printing, which requires little additional cost. Hot stamping and embossing are no longer expensive consumers for consumers who need to increase the number of printed products. Narrow rolls; roll-foil bronzing has opened up the market, and bow} has attracted more attention. At the same time, it also poses a threat to sheet-fed printing (such as wine trademark printing). Conducive to the development of the printing market. Sheet-fed bronzing uses the curved die on the cylinder. Although it does not print and broil online like narrow-web roll bronzing, it is still faster than standard pattern printing. This is very beneficial for mass production of cartoon pictures, greeting cards, book covers and other similar items. The more mature and well-known this process is, the faster the business rises, the more beneficial it is to the status of post-press processing.

3. Post-press processing on demand

With the extensive development of on-demand printing, post-press on-demand processing will also become a supporting process for the development of intelligent printing in the future. Now there are new changes in binding equipment. Personalized direct mailing and variable printing account for an ever-increasing proportion. Although all the elements, graphics, layout and personalization have a long way to go, some devices have now been personalized. The sea pattern and disconnection problem, the device provides personalized inkjet output. The resolution of each. The sheets were printed with different addresses and even different patterns. The printed matter of FM sheets is different, and the binders have encountered new problems.

How to solve the waste of different printed sheets? At present, there is no efficient solution. Manufacturers have tried many methods such as: marking on printed sheets. The current solution works well, but it is expensive. Heidelberg provides equipment NexPress for personalized printing, a new type of printing machine that can be printed from a single sheet. Both Poler and Heidelberg's stack folding machines provide solutions for personalized printing to process NexPress products. Printing on Demand (POD) emphasizes flexible, personalized, short-run printing. POD printers can usually complete product printing within 24 hours.

Nowadays, the binding equipment for short-version black and white soft-cover books and periodicals is very complicated. Many suppliers provide another automated online or offline solution for the binding of small batches of paperback books. Machine and a new generation of highly automated three-sided cutting machine. This binding device can be adjusted for different spine thicknesses and is adapted to print on demand. Short-term mailing advertisements now have a large market. Many digital printing business program binding machines produce hardcover books and periodicals. The complexity of the binding equipment, the limitation of the limited edition of hardcover books and periodicals, and the limited technology and experience have created opportunities for program binding machines. At the same time, because of the flexibility of short-run printing, many program binding machines have been oriented towards printing short-run book blocks to meet customer needs. In the past 3 years, the printing industry has been committed to establishing pre-press, printing, and post-press communication standards. Although the CIP3 action originated from pre-press and ink equipment, it has begun to have a certain impact on post-press. The multi-function digital printing machine emphasizes personalization. For example, the two-color and multi-color printing require that the information transmission of each production process be kept highly consistent. Sheet-fed integration technology is turning to the publishing market. Currently, several standards have been formed to ensure the accuracy of complex text page numbers and the consistency of documents.

All in all, with the wide application of digitalization, networking and intelligence in the field of printing and post-press processing, it will plug the wings of the rapid development of the printing industry. It can be asserted that the high-tech content will lead the trend of the printing industry in the future Intelligent technology.
