Retail Hinged Lid Cigarette Box How to realize digital seamless connection between publishing and printing

"Digital printing is the printing process of digitalization of pre-press graphics, digitalization of printing operations, and digitalization of post-press marketing." Although this statement has defined the whole process of printing in numbers, whether it is comprehensive remains to be questioned. Especially in the digital communication between the publishing house and the printing house, we found that a large number of domestic publishing houses still use the traditional way of producing books and periodicals by printing out paper patterns and saving PS plate blue pieces; Most large-scale printing enterprises have already introduced advanced CTP pre-press processing system, and the difference between the new and old production modes is increasingly significant, and the digital harmony of publishing and printing "public interface" is an urgent problem for the publishing and printing industry. Recently, in the process of interviewing digital printing technology, the reporter heard the call of the printing industry for the issue of public interface between publishing and printing.

Print: CTP requires publishing to adapt to digital

"The ideal digital printing production process starts from the input of digital information, and automatically completes the printing without manual intervention." Wang Demao, executive vice chairman of China Printing and Equipment Industry Association, told China Press and Publication that with the wide application of digital and network technology, especially the use of pre-press links, the processing of graphic and image information has entered the digital process, and at the same time, the development of CTP technology has also made the pre-press process digitized. Digital technology is being combined with various printing processes, which is revolutionizing the printing process, and the digital control of the whole printing process is gradually being realized.

Peking University Founder commercial CTP product director Tian Jing introduced to reporters, CTP direct plate making process relative to the traditional plate making process eliminates phototypesetting, development, washing and other links, CTP process brings stable and controllable plate quality, printing machine utilization rate has also been greatly improved. From the aspect of improving efficiency, the CTP layout is clean, no need to repair dirty, saving a lot of machine preparation time; CTP plate registration accurate, reduce the printing press overprint adjustment time; CTP plate ink balance fast, reduce a large number of plate paper consumption. In terms of quality improvement, the network is accurately restored, the printing level is more rich, and the frequency modulation network, as well as the frequency modulation amplitude modulation mixed screening can be achieved, greatly improving the printing quality. From the point of view of data process control, the plate making process can be directly controlled by data, and the printing compensation can be carried out in different node levels to achieve flexible regulation of the process.

Statistics show that since the application of CTP technology in 1995, the CTP market has entered a mature stage, and by the end of 2006, more than 30,000 CTP systems had been installed worldwide. China's CTP market after 10 years of market cultivation, the annual installation volume is gradually growing. This period went through two stages of development, from 1998 to 2003 for the CTP market introduction period, several to dozens of units installed each year. In 2004, the volume began to increase, the annual growth rate of 50%, especially in 2005, 2006 two years, the annual installation of more than 200 units, China's CTP market entered a period of rapid development, the next 8 to 10 years China's CTP market will be a sustainable development stage.

Despite the voice of the printing industry, a large number of traditional books in the publishing industry still cannot be converted from the PS version already used into digital to meet the requirements of new printing technology, and the harmony of the new digital editing printing interface also needs corresponding technical support.

Market: Film conversion digital is a new business opportunity

Some insiders told reporters that there are already similar data service companies overseas, specializing in the batch conversion of traditional film data into digital electronic information, to achieve the transformation of traditional blue film to digital publishing. Through the transformation of production mode, the management and operation of publishing houses are more convenient and faster, and the selection, planning and processing of books are also accelerated accordingly.

As far as the situation of China's publishing house is concerned, in order to prevent copyright disputes and the emergence of pirated books, the publishing house basically will not hand over the book data to unreliable printing houses or typesetting companies with large liquidity to deal with, but the publishing house itself is difficult to deploy a large number of manpower to deal with mountains of film materials. Therefore, the domestic market has not yet appeared such enterprises, have to say that this is a new business opportunity.

Publishing: Adaptation to the new interface requires technical support

In fact, it is not difficult for publishing houses to use computer digital methods for book editing and printing interfaces. "If we can ensure that the effect seen on the computer is consistent with the book printing effect, we prefer the computer, rather than the current large number of random proofs," Miss Ren, the planning editor of the Science Press, told reporters that the review process of the press is still carried out on the sample book printed by the typesetting factory. General books require the process of three reviews and three schools, the initial review is responsible for the book editor, the review is responsible for the editorial director, and the final review is responsible for the community leadership, and the process of interaction is prone to problems, such as the "eleventh Five-Year Plan" key books, the process of editing and reviewing should be extremely careful. The general production cycle is two or three months, but to the annual textbook distribution period, due to the variety of books and limited manpower, the time required will be longer. Now the leaders of the society have realized these problems and established an independent electronic book database. The books published in recent years are classified and sorted and stored on the computer in electronic mode, which is safe and convenient for retrieval.

"Our situation here is similar to that of the Science Society, but we have established an e-book database and are trying to operate e-books on the website." Ms. Du, editor of Light Industry Press, told reporters that the review, compilation and proofreading of the press are basically carried out on paper samples or sample books, and for the use of CTP in the pre-press process, our editors do not understand the detailed operating process, let alone the "interface". "If you can have a complete operating system that can connect the editing work with the pre-press processing process without trace, then the work efficiency will definitely be improved a lot, and the probability of errors can be reduced."

On this issue, printing companies have also expressed their own views. Liu Feng, senior engineer of Beijing Xinhua Printing Factory, told reporters that Beijing Xinhua Printing Factory introduced the Founder flow digital workflow launched by Peking University Founder Electronics Co., LTD., the process is compatible and business adaptability is strong, and a set of processes has a variety of proof means. The CTP computer direct plate making equipment in the factory with the flow system can meet the complex printing production requirements, but in the peak season of book printing, especially for those with a short period of teaching materials, it is impossible to start. The publishing house keeps the traditional three review and three proofreading of the textbook, each revision and check must be carried out on the paper pattern, which consumes a long time and has low efficiency. "If you can connect the editorial system of the publishing house with the prepress processing of the printing house, whether it is for the publishing house or the printing house, it is a qualitative leap."
