What You Need To Prepare Before Printing The B5 Spiral Notebook Product

What you need to prepare before printing the B5 Spiral Notebook product

Each unit will have a variety of promotional materials, product packaging, product descriptions, etc., need to be printed, and most units because they do not know how to print, can not completely prepare the required information before printing caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, here we will focus on the issues to be considered before printing and prepare materials.

1, ready to go out before printing to choose the printing method, because each printing method of paper, ink, printing machine is different, different processes, different printing effects, need to provide different information, printing prices are not the same. For example, general advertising pages and the company's product introduction choose ordinary offset printing (referred to as offset printing), corrugated packaging boxes can choose offset or screen printing (referred to as silkscreen), plastic film flexible packaging can choose gravure printing (referred to as gravure) or flexographic printing (referred to as flexo printing), giant color advertising printing can choose silkscreen or large inkjet printing, Curved items can choose letterpress printing (referred to as letterpress), gravure or screen printing and so on.

2. Before computer design and production, it is necessary to prepare the required text and image drafts (including the production of the company logo, the registered trademark of the product, the image should be clear, preferably for reverse films, photos, can not be printed out by the printer as the image original, because of its low resolution, poor scanning effect), color requirements (mainly unchangeable color, It is best to mark the value of CMYK), if the page has been designed, you need to provide a detailed layout, including the page size, image size, text size and color, color block size and color, the color said here is best to mark the CMYK value.

3. Pay attention to the choice of finished size when designing your own page. Before deciding the size of the finished product, you need to decide how many open machines to print, what paper to use (generous paper or positive paper), a sheet of paper can be lined up with several pages, if the size is not appropriate, a sheet of paper is not satisfied, it will cause a waste of paper.

4. Before production and output, it is also necessary to confirm the number of colors printed and whether there are spot colors. General printing is four colors, that is, CMYK four colors, printing through the superposition of these four colors to complete the reproduction of various colors in nature. However, in some cases, you can add some spot colors, such as gold, silver, etc., to copy the color that is not easy to perform with four-color superposition, and at the same time, when using spot colors to reduce the printing color number, spot colors can also be used, such as only red and black in the page, red is generally reflected with M+Y, so that printing requires three colors, with spot color red printing, it is two-color printing, which can save some costs.

5. If you have completed the production only need to output, printing, each printing process requires a different resolution, but the required file mode is CMYK, can not use RGB mode output. Ordinary offset printing generally requires the output above 133lpi, so the image requires more than 260dpi, and the low resolution will affect the printing effect; Screen printing generally requires a low number of output lines, about 30lpi- 60lpi, so the requirements for image resolution are also low, generally around 100dpi; Flexographic requirements should be selected according to the substrate material, the general corrugated paper image resolution is 120dpi--150dpi, newsprint is 150dpi--180dpi, paint paper and self-adhesive paper is 180dpi--200dpi, plastic and metal film is 200dpi--260dpi, General dot print is above 260dpi.

6. You also need to pay attention to bleeding, imprinting, trapping and other problems when making your own pages.

In addition, it is also very important to consider the number of printed copies before printing, and the starting number of different printing methods is not the same (the starting number refers to the cost of printing in addition to the cost of paper, and the lowest price of other costs is calculated according to the number of printing). If the starting number of offset printing is 3000 and 5000 copies, the printing price is relatively high below this number; The starting number of screen printing is 300 copies, the printing resistance of the screen is 3000 copies (the printing resistance refers to the highest number of copies that the screen can be printed), and more than 3000 copies need to be replaced.

These are the issues you need to consider before printing, you will consider these issues clearly, it is possible to get satisfactory prints in the desired time.
