EPSON color digital printing new fashion

In recent years, with the development of the market economy and the ever-changing information, the printing industry is also facing new opportunities. The intensification of competition has required the increasing number of customers who deliver goods within a very short period of time; the number of businesses that require personalized printing has also suddenly increased; and there are more and more printing businesses with uncertain information. As a result, some changes have taken place in the printing market in order to meet the increasing demand.

In the past few years, a short-run, fast-printing, on-demand printing market has gradually taken shape. In the face of this market, the traditional printing industry has many links, long cycle, high cost, and low efficiency, and cannot meet this market demand. With the development of electronic technology, digital printing systems technically provide the possibility to meet this market demand. Previously, printing processes such as layout design, color separation scanning, page processing, proofing, color separation sheet output, and tanning PS printing, which were once available to printing companies, can now be completed by any design studio, export center, or printing company. To this end, some experts believe that digital printing represents the development direction of today's printing industry and will be the mainstream of short-term printing in the 21st century.

----To this end, EPSON Corporation and prospects have launched the "EPSON prospects digital fast printing system" 12 solutions. One of them is the EPL-C8200 color digital rapid printing system. This is a printing system consisting of a Harlequin RIP 4.X/5.X (also available from R & D Center of Beijing University), a color correction system from Prospect Corporation and an EPL-C8200 color laser printer from EPSON. In general, the traditional printing process is subject to graphic layout, black and white proofreading, output color separation film, proofing, color proofing, sun drying PS, printing machine hanging PS, four-color printing, marking, and printing processes. 10 steps. Once errors such as errors, loss of dots, or misregistration of colors occur in these processes, part or all of the rework will occur.

---- And digital printing process is only experienced graphic layout, printing two processes. The color digital printing system adopting the EPL-C8200 as an output device is taken as an example: it is easy to operate, from design to printing, without the need for film and plates, everything is simple to one point, one person can complete the entire printing process . Compared with the traditional printing process, it can be said to be a breeze.

"Economy" is a necessary bargaining chip for any new process that is expected to replace traditional process flow. For color digital printing, it eliminates the cost of film making, proofing, and manual labor. It only requires paper and ink, which greatly reduces the cost of printing. Such systems as EPSON and Prospects can achieve a print speed of 240 pages per hour, and can achieve a completely digital printing process, without requiring users to wait, greatly improving the production efficiency.

Take a 100-page 16K color print as an example. The cost of the traditional method is a four-color plate making fee + a four-color film + printing fee. In this way, the 100-page printing cost is 600 to 800 yuan. It takes about 3 to 5 days and requires about 10 people. If a digital color printing system is used, the cost component is the cost of paper and ink (four colors). In this way, the 100-page printing cost is 200 to 400 yuan. It takes less than one hour and the required labor is 1. ~ 2 people.

---- Therefore, it is not difficult to see that in the field of short-run printing, the traditional printing cost is high, the cycle is long, and the efficiency is low; while the digital printing has low cost, short cycle time, less space, fewer personnel requirements, less waste, relative efficiency. high. Therefore, digital printing is particularly suitable for on-demand printing, short-run printing market.

---- If any new printing method is to be widely promoted, it must be able to adapt to the needs of modern printing. EPSON EPL-C8000/8200 color digital printing system can print the international standard A3 format and 60 to 220 grams of media thickness, greatly expanding the user's business areas and business scope, to the album, leaflets, small to business cards and various Paper invitations, menus, PVC, etc. will perfectly reflect the user's creativity and color.

----It is often heard from industry insiders: "Now, users are increasingly demanding the production of personalization and the number of prints when printing. Especially the appearance of small-lot, multi-category prints, even in the traditional printing industry. Experts also feel a headache.” The EPSON EPL-C8000/8200 color digital printing system enables one-page printing, and short-run printing can achieve unprecedented economic and convenience. Its rapid imaging and dissociation features allow users to make arbitrary changes and modifications before printing. It is easy to quickly print personalized color prints with different text and graphics on each page.

---- Print quality has always been the user's attention. The color digital printing system jointly launched by EPSON and Prospect Company uses the EPSON's EPL-C8000/C8200 color laser printer. It features 600DPI+ Color Scale Extension Technology II (AcuLaser Color 2400). Through RIP, the system can automatically identify different parts of the same paper, such as images, content, text, etc. It can accurately describe and restore the data of small words and fine curves, and has high-quality color correction function to make color, graphics, and texts. Accurately and perfectly presented on various media.

----I believe that color digital printing solutions will bring users into the short-run, fast-printing, on-demand printing field with its advantages of fastness, high quality, economy, and convenience.
