With the emergence of CTP, the printing industry is becoming more and more digital. And in such a trend, the development of the enterprise will be how a trend is simply to have the following eight trends.

1 digital connection with customers

Printing operations are made into electronic documents, all documents are transmitted through high-speed remote communication. In some cases, the T-1 or or T-3 or ISDN or any other means of communication: the other information may be transmitted via Internet or Intranet. The documents which are transmitted include electronic work orders, and self - processing documents for different steps in the process of digital workflow, which is the phenomenon of the past.

2 Remote Proofing

The proof is one of the most important parts in printing industry, proofing before entering the work process is very meaningful, but in the customer's own office can be more meaningful proofing proofs. The problem is how to manage the files that are sent back to the customer. Whether or sublimation inkjet proofing proofing, or other types of print documents are required for their professional treatment before passing to the customer, so that the file has a certain color control. The debate with the dot and the dot will continue until the next century.

3 anhydrous printing

The advantages of anhydrous printing in reducing waste and improving the quality are obvious. But there are only a few printing plate suppliers, and printing is also very special, which greatly limits its wide acceptance. At present, the CTP system through a number of suppliers to produce digital no watermark version, some of the printing machine is ready for the refrigeration system to wait for the access of water. Dry printing only uses one kind of liquid ink, and no longer use the fountain solution. The demand for this new printing method is increasing.

Random Plus Network - and do not use the film.CTP system to make FM screening is easier, FM and network era is coming. Using the CTP system can make the work better, its market share is also growing. 1992 FM network has just emerged, almost no user using this network. And now the interest in it has been restarted.

4 CTP Technology

Several advantages of CTP Technology: A. eliminates some of the problems caused by the film to the printing plate process;

B. can be faster, this is because the CTP device can make the location more accurate mesh point;

C. saved steps can make the printing cycle shorter; in most cases, D. can ensure better quality.

The current sales figures show that CTP is occupying the market.

5 digital to print

Pixel to page to product. Process control has been automatic, from the number of pages to the final product. Consider the use of internal code for tracking, can be from the establishment of a job to know the status of all aspects of the current state of progress. If CIP3 is an open, non private method, it can be accepted. Otherwise, the market had to find a better way.

6 technology integration

An example of integrating an inkjet system into a printing machine is an example of an integrated technology. The best example of a recent example of a system integration is the color printing service provided by Indigo and Xeikon. The first use of Xeikon printing presses a sheet, and then printing black ink on the Indigo machine to print more features. The integration of offset printing machine and ink jet printer, these efforts are the effect of printing and copying better.

A digital file multiple output from a file - the application file and the file between the RIP file - the output to any proofing or printing equipment becomes possible. PDF Acrobat is the most promising method, which can move files from the device to the device to copy files to the device, eliminating the inability of PostScript, and speed up the work process.

7 variable data printing

Whether or the use of electronic ink jet printing toner, is rapidly developing, as some new mid-range digital color printing systems are entering the market. In less than a year, the sales of the Docucolor Cannon system and the CLC1000 Xerox system have gone beyond the top grade digital printing presses. They have the ability to output direct mail and customized products, the typical application is a new type of anti-counterfeiting printing.

8 digital advertising

In either TIFF/IT or PDF format, the ads will be inserted in the form of electronic documents in newspapers and magazines, because these publications will be CTP output. The biggest news here is that "PDF placed" will allow these smart files to be inserted directly into the QuarkPress or PageMaker pages, including text, image, color, font, and other information.
