Digital printing is new printing technology which developed in the 1990 s. In recent years, along with the computer technology, digital technology and the rapid development of network technology, on-demand printing and variable information printing as the main features of digital printing has become increasingly active, technical innovation, expanding market share.
Digital printing is a printing technology development direction, from a technical perspective, China and Europe and the United States and other western developed countries don't have too big difference, but in practical applications, we are still lagging behind the western developed countries. At present, China's digital printing only as a traditional offset printing, screen printing and flexo printing, and compared with the CTP technology is digital category, popularization and application of digital printing, there are obvious gap. At the end of 2010, China's national authorities have to digital printing and digital construction projects included in the work, in the next three years to give special support, China's importance for digital printing. There is reason to believe that as long as work together from all walks of life, digital printing will be on the rapid development of the printing industry have a huge role.
Characteristics and application field of digital printing
Digital printing is the digital signal to control color agent directly in the location of the substrates on the adhesion and strength, and eventually formed the visual image of a printing method. The key technology of digital printing including image processing technology and the digital prepress technology, its core is digital printing equipment. Image processing is to simulate the image signal is converted into digital image signal, and according to the specific requirements for processing technology, it permeates throughout the process of digital printing, digital prepress technology in the original input, word processing, image processing, typography and color prepress process all together, adopting digital works: digital printing machine is high speed hard copy conversion system, it converts digital page high speed high quality monochrome or color print, the current digital printing machine has a static camera, ink-jet imaging, electrocoagulation imaging, magnetic recording imaging and 5 kinds of ion deposition imaging method.
The characteristics of the digital printing mainly reflects in:
1. The comprehensive realization of digital printing process, it directly convert digital files and pages to print, do not need film and plate production process, the traditional printing process greatly simplified, and on a small amount of printing and dispatch has the absolute advantage.
2. Digital printing variable information, information can be one hundred percent of the output of the two adjacent print can be completely different, this kind of flexible rapid information variable on-demand printing mode, can greatly increase the enterprise in the fierce market competition advantage.
3. Can page through the Internet transmission, to achieve different printing.
Digital printing is not only, also includes more value-added content. Digital printing is widely application field, including press printing, publications printing, packaging printing, outdoor advertising, digital color proofing and large-format color and include digital photo printing, office printing, personalized publications printing, personalized marketing, personalized direct mail printing, electronic supervision code printing, financial and postal bill printing and so on.
