First of all, review the traditional printing, whether it is commercial printing, packaging printing, special printing or report printing, the impact of digital printing on the industry in the printing process. And today will also focus on the report printing industry. The first half will discuss changes in the prepress process, and the second half will focus on the discussion of digital printing and discuss the market opportunities for digital printing products and services. There are also several key points in this middle, one is the simple method of database printing, and the other is the corresponding relationship between the digital printing and the natural demand of the report industry printing.
1. The development process of digital printing process
Let us first briefly review the process from traditional printing to digital prepress to the so-called CTP; and CTP (Computer to Plate, Computer to Paper) and from direct plate making to direct printing. In the traditional printing process before 1990, the printing process had to go through very complex actions, from "artificial art design-photography-repair film-tailoring-proofing-exposure exposure-on the machine- —Adjust inks—double-sided printing—binding â€, this is a general commercial printing operation, and report printing is also similar to this process, only using a rotary printing machine when printing; and 10 years ago, PC The advent of computers and MAC pre-press models and the application of Adobe related software have brought new opportunities for the industry. Some hand-made pre-press parts have also been gradually replaced by PC and MAC models. In the past digital revolution, computers replaced Pre-press hand-made, the printing industry should be very impressed at this stage. In 1995, most of the pre-press production of about 70-80% has been converted to electronic, and although there were some minor reforms in 1996, However, due to many factors, there has not been a big trend, but by 1998, there was a great revolution in the stage of front-end pre-press production from negative film to plate making. This is the emergence of CTP (direct plate making). With this technology, the printing production process becomes very simple and saves a lot of manpower.
However, because the printing factory introduced many digital production processes, the original high-demand technical labor was no longer needed. The speaker personally believes that digitalization will be prejudiced for certain industries before they can benefit from it. Because after digitization, many affairs will become more transparent, many things do not need humans, and many things become common sense at the beginning of technology.
Second, the changes of digital printing industry
Now I want to report to you two options that you need to consider in the investment process in the future. The purpose of investment is to make money and save money, that is, open source and throttling: the so-called throttling part is in the pre-press process. Two trends, one is NGP (Network Graphic Printing), in the future all printing-related industries, whether commercial printing or report printing, all operations will be carried out on the Internet, because the past homework era has passed, because you need to master Relevant information about customers, suppliers and competitors must rely on online information. Another trend is CTP (Computer to Plate), the era of negative film has also passed, of course, except for some more special ones such as letterpress and gravure. CTP will be a trend in the future, and you will explain this latest trend especially in the following positions.
The other is open source, which is a relatively innovative market, just as people could not predict that the mobile phone market would be so huge five years ago. There are also two important points here. One is VDP (Variable Data Printing). All graphic data are electrically driven. During the printing process, there is nothing invariable. This is a technical feature of digital printing machines; Derived CTP (Computer to Paper) to print all digital data directly on paper. The emphasis here is on a large amount of printing, such as 50,000 copies and 100,000 copies of the same printed product. Using CTP has its benefits Here, we do not encourage digitization for digitization, but we hope that everyone will take cost considerations and pursuit of efficiency as the main investment replacement factors.
3. The development process of digital printing process
Continuing the CTP mentioned above, we can see that CTP actually has many meanings in digital printing. Therefore, if a large number of digital processes are invested, but costs and benefits are not considered, it will lead to investment losses and destruction. Therefore, the first meaning of CTP becomes "CTP means Computer to Perish".
The most well-known CTP in the printing industry is computer-to-plate. Continuing this introduction of digital printing, there are roughly the following evolutions:
(1) CTP means Computer to Plate: computer direct plate making.
(2) CTP means Computer to Press: This Press is the Press of this printing industry, which refers to on-board plate making, which hangs the plate on the printing base. The industry calls this the plate cylinder, and sprays the plate with a special solution directly on the plate. The burn-in can be completed within 5 minutes, and then the machine calibration is performed. At present, this technology is relatively expensive. The current printing capacity is about 50,000 brushes.
(3) CTP means Computer to Paper: computer direct printing.
(4) CTP means Computer to Publish: This is to meet the needs of some customers, without having to directly get the actual product or other different needs, and publish it on the Internet to meet the diverse needs of customers.
(5) CTP means Convenience to Print: In the end, CTP will become a printing service to satisfy customers.
4. Future changes in the market of prepress equipment (CTP and CTF)
First provide a trend of the current domestic CTP introduction:
(1) Before 2003, the number of installed CTPs in Taiwan was about 60.
(2) In 2003, 37 CTPs were sold in Taiwan (including 12 joint newspapers).
(3) The number of installed CTPs in 2004 will be 45 (including newspapers).
(4) It is estimated that CTP is growing in 2004-2007, and then declines.
(5) It is estimated that the total installed capacity of CTP in 2007 will be 400.
(6) Before 2003, the number of installed CTFs in Taiwan was 854.
(7) In 2003, 38 units of CTF were sold in Taiwan.
(8) CTF will install 40 units in 2004.
(9) It is estimated that the CTF will begin to decline in 2005.
(10) It is estimated that the total installed capacity of CTF in Taiwan will be 1,000.
V. Conclusion
After many previous introductions to digital printing, a simple conclusion can be made. At the current stage of digital printing, the problems before digital printing can be solved using NGP and CTP, and the digital printing machine solutions can use Template, VDP and Media To solve this problem, the use of plate type or special materials such as holographic paper and special film are very good applications, because the original printing of these special materials requires UV printing. The cost will be higher, but if you use a digital printing machine For printing, the printing cost is the same as ordinary printed paper, so it can create some additional value.
Because of the many benefits of digital printing, the market demand will drive:
(1) Long-distance digital proofing.
(2) High-quality color report output.
(3) Graphical printing of the database.
(4) Use of innovative teaching materials.
These are relatively new market demands, and for those who want to introduce digital printing, it is a commercial opportunity to invest.
