The printing industry, which has a long history, is being affected and affected by emerging digital technologies. The traditional printing industry is no longer an independent industry. Digital technology is infiltrating and expanding the printing industry and those related to digital technology. Digital technologies related to the printing industry include desktop publishing technology (DTP), digital imaging technology, digital proofing technology, direct plate making (CTP) technology, digital printing technology, cross-media publishing technology, and digital workflow.
Digital proofing technology
Application and Development of Digital Proofing Technology in Foreign Countries In foreign developed countries, digital profiling as a high-quality, efficient, and brand-new working method has become the mainstream method for proof printing in the printing industry, and is gradually replacing the traditional proofing technology.
In North America, Western Europe and other developed countries, the application of digital proofing is more common, the United States is at the forefront, and the use rate in advertising design and other fields has reached more than 50%. In 2000, the total installed capacity of digital proofing machines in the world reached 58,000 sets, of which the inkjet proofing system accounted for an absolute advantage. In addition, DuPont's Cromartin digital proofing system has more than 10,000 installed units, of which 90% are in Europe and America. area.
Digitalization and networking have accelerated the pace of digital proofing. The application of remote proofing in developed countries has become extremely widespread. In emerging digital proofing companies, the amount of remote proofing business accounts for more than half of the total business volume. In addition, traditional proofing machines in foreign countries have stopped production, indicating that traditional proofing will stop development.
The total installed capacity of the global digital proofing machine is expected to grow at an annual rate of 20%, and it will increase to 111,300 units by 2004. This growth is mainly reflected in the inkjet printing market. The installed capacity of the inkjet digital proofing system in 2004 will increase from 81% in 1999 to 92%.
The application and development of digital proofing technology in China is in the country. Although more and more printing practitioners have begun to understand and value digital proofing, due to the backwardness in the usage habits and concepts, most printing companies still use traditional proofing. Only 7% of printing companies use digital proofing technology. At present, the domestic digital proofing system is mainly based on EPSON, HP, and Xerox's large-format color inkjet. The software is mainly based on Beijing University Founder Century RIP, Color Tuner and Best Color. According to incomplete statistics, the bundled sales volume of the national digital proofing system is 300 to 400 sets, of which the commercial printing area accounts for 1/3, and the packaging and printing area accounts for 2/3, mainly concentrated in coastal areas such as Guangdong, Shenzhen and Fujian. About 70% or more. Among the 3,000 large-scale books, magazines, and commercial and package printing companies across the country, less than 10% use digital proofing, and joint ventures and private companies use more. There are three reasons why the former are not used or are not optimistic about digital proofing: 1 The customer does not approve, 2 the cost is too high, 3 the printing process does not recognize. In fact, it's not that customers don't approve. Most customers don't understand printing. They don't have the difference between demodulating the frequency network and the AM network. They focus on the quality of the final product. The reason is mainly that the printing operator's own ideas have not changed, and there is a lack of understanding of digital proofing in the true sense.
Digital proofing technology itself is now mature, the hue problem has been solved (in the coated paper, newsprint can be made consistent with the printing color), the speed has also been increased (from 720dpi print AO format takes 30 minutes to improve 5 minutes) The format is also large enough, the cost of consumables is also controlled (only need to do surface treatment on plain printing paper), and it has the advantage that traditional proofing is incomparable: stable (no artificial factors), no requirement on the environment (The traditional proofing environment is extremely important in terms of temperature and humidity control.) No special operator is required, and a network of RIPs can bring several digital proofing devices. The most important reason why digital proofing cannot be successfully developed in China is the concept of printing professionals. They still cling to the traditional proofing methods and reject new technologies and new challenges.
At present, technical barriers to digital proofing have been overcome, and bottlenecks have also been resolved. With the development of CTP, the digital proofing industry will make rapid progress in 2002-2003. Some experts predict that the year 2002 will be a breakthrough year for the application of digital proofing technology in China. It is expected that the installed capacity will be doubled to about 700 sets. In the coming years, the annual growth rate of domestic digital proofing will exceed that of foreign countries. The optimistic forecast is that the installed capacity of digital proofing will reach 50O0 in five years.
In addition, the existing traditional proofing equipment has become increasingly aging, facing upgrading, and foreign traditional proofing equipment has been discontinued, the domestic traditional proofing equipment manufacturers have also announced the suspension of production, which will advance the development of digital proofing. Of the 150,000 small and large print companies in China, at least 30,000 have the potential for digital proofing.
Digital Printing Technology
The application and development of digital printing technology abroad Generally speaking, the digital printing machine includes two types of equipment, one is a digital printing machine without a plate, and the other is a digital printing machine with a plate. The main advantage of the former is variable data printing, which can realize one-off printing and personalized printing, while the latter's main advantage lies in the business of printing 3O0 to 5000 copies.
Although the proportion of digital printing in the entire printing market is not large at present, the sales volume of individual companies has been very alarming, and the output value of digital printing has also increased significantly. A survey conducted by Mark W. Fucai, a US digital printing consultant, showed that the output value of digital printing in the United States was 7 billion U.S. dollars in 1997 and reached 11.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2000. The ratio of U.S. publication and commercial printing output is approximately About 12%. According to a survey by CAP Venture in the United States, the output value of on-demand printing in the United States with digital printing machines as the main equipment in 2000 reached 21 billion U.S. dollars. The American Printing Leaders Association stated that 24% of companies in the United States can already provide digital printing services. In Europe, on-demand printing output in 1998 reached 8.61 billion euros.
In the United States where digital printing is developing rapidly, everyone is generally optimistic about the prospects of digital printing. Mark W. Fleming predicts that the output value of digital printing will maintain an annual growth rate of 12% in the next few years. CAP Venture's data shows that by 2005, the value of on-demand printing will reach 48 billion US dollars, with an annual growth of 18%. In the survey of members of the American Printing Leaders Association, 46% of respondents believe that digital presses are the fastest growing devices in the next two years, and 91% of companies hope to obtain most of the profits from digital printing. The same optimistic estimate also appeared in Europe. CAP Venture expects that by 2004, the European retail market for on-demand printing will reach 28.38 billion euros.
The application and development of digital printing technology in China At present, the domestic concern for digital printing still remains at the level of technology exploration. No one has conducted detailed statistical analysis on the development of digital printing in the domestic market from the application level. However, there are still some data indicating that the domestic digital printing market has started.
Data from vendors indicate that sales of digital printing systems in China have increased significantly in recent years.
However, domestic digital printing presses still remain in the stage of competing with small offset printers and printers for the market, and there is still a big gap between market share and countries with rapid digital printing development. Some equipment is still idle because of weak market development.
Digital workflow
Application and Development of Digital Workflows in Foreign Countries Today, the major prepress and printing companies have almost introduced their own digital process solutions. These programs emphasize openness and operability to achieve the best results in the entire production process. There are currently four solutions for digital workflows: Postscript-based workflows, dedicated workflows, bitmap workflows, and PDF-based workflows.
The application of computer-to-plate technology has taken a step forward in the promotion of digital workflows. The purpose of implementing the digitalization process is to eliminate the influence of human factors and achieve an organic combination of production and management. The operator can monitor the status of the product in the production process at any time, and can perform proofing at any point, allowing for modification at the last minute.
In addition, digital processes have been applied in the field of e-commerce activities. Using the Internet, printers and customers can be linked together to negotiate prices through the Internet, send orders, make proofs remotely, exchange information, track production, manage accounts, and arrange shipments. The digital process has improved the relationship between printing companies and customers, improved efficiency and quality, and enabled companies to provide better services.
Foreign countries believe that the basis of digital workflow is to have fast, high-quality output devices. From computers to printing machines, it is necessary to have an efficient production process. To obtain high-quality color proofing, there must be a common file format. Therefore, the workflow in the future will develop towards a complete and networked digital workflow.
The application of digital workflows in China and the development of digital workflows in China began with the implementation of digital layouts, and then digital proofing, PDF output, and digital asset management were gradually implemented, eventually digitizing the entire workflow. More than 20 CTPs have been put into use in domestic newspapers. Therefore, the digital workflow has been applied in the newspaper printing factory.
The application of digital workflow has promoted the development of printing company management processes. In particular, some newspaper printing companies have incorporated the enterprise's informatization work into their main work. With the further promotion and application of direct plate-making and digital printing in China, the digital workflow technology will be applied more and more in China's publishing and printing industry.
Digital technology is changing the production aspects of our lives. We must use digital, networked, and global perspectives, readjust and determine the development direction of the printing industry, and use digital and network technologies to transform the traditional printing industry.
