Prepress technical innovation performance (1)

First, the pre-press technology for high-quality printing needs of innovation and development <br> As we all know, the Chinese economy continues to develop and globalization for more than 20 years, leading Chinese printing companies to learn and learn from international advanced technology and experience, from the "hardware and products Processing-centered technological changes have been transformed into technological innovations centered on "software and product chains."
This change in technological innovation has driven the transformation of China's printing companies and their product production from “print quality” as the center to “work efficiency improvement under high quality premise”. Product services have changed from functional to value-added services, and management processes have changed. Control management changes to digital asset management to meet the growing demand for high-quality printing in society.
Prepress technology, as the leading and foundation of the printing product chain, is the first key step in the printing production process to complete the upgrade from advanced hardware applications to software systems, and is also the core of pre-planning and solving various problems of printing and post-press processing. From the point of view of high-quality printing requirements, the pre-press technology innovation is mainly reflected in the following two points.
1. Popularization and high-level application of CTP technology
Prepress technology has realized the integration of end users, product designers and prepress workers in the digital and network integration of information dissemination methods and methods. However, they have different understanding and control methods for the understanding and expression of printed products, especially high-quality printing products, due to different goals and requirements.
Especially for the inconsistency of color images and their color expressions, the key element of printing quality, “color”, becomes a “confusion”. How to guarantee the high fidelity of color, the perfection of levels, and the clear reproduction of details are faced by the modern printing industry. The biggest challenge.
CTP technology is a key technology that breaks through the bottleneck of accurate reproduction of traditional prepress operations. It solves the problems of dot loss and nonlinear transmission caused by secondary simulation imaging in CTP platemaking. It eliminates the lack of experienced personnel in the secondary simulation imaging and many equipment parameters. Problems such as complicated process control, various influencing factors, and insufficient reliability of the working process have made digital, high-precision, high-reliability, and simple-to-operate plate making a reality. The expansion of prepress technology in the CTP area will focus on the following two points.
(1) In the high-end printing market or product area, CTP technology has entered a stage of mature application and popularity. At present, domestic high-end users have been through many years of practice, understood and mastered the key elements and control mechanisms of CTP technology applications, and gradually formed a working process that meets their own production conditions, experienced the quality improvement brought by CTP, changes in operating mode, and improved production efficiency. As well as the benefits of digitizing management tools, it initially formed the ability to guide users and attract users through CTP technology.
(2) In the mid-end printing market or product area, CTP technology has entered a stage of mutual benefit with CTF. As the printing companies in the mid-end market are constrained by capital, market, cost, and technical capabilities, they are mainly based on existing CTF equipment. By adding digital proofing and digital imposition components, quasi-CTP for large-scale films is established. The process, and after the high reliability of the large-format film is achieved, the construction of the CTP process is completed with electronic film or CTP output.
