Analysis of Digital Printing Technology Innovation Trend

Changes in the economic environment, increased competition, and increased customer expectations, digital printing technology has been brought to the face of the modern printing industry. As the printing industry places more and more emphasis on customization and short-run production, digital printing presses have also achieved significant results in the market. Let's take a look at the latest technology in the field of digital label printers and digital packaging printers, which will share the latest digital printing technology to be displayed at the drupa exhibition.

Digital label printers are growing rapidly

Digital label printing is an area that has grown rapidly in recent years and has been successfully applied in the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Products like wine labels are particularly suitable for short-run, high-quality printing on modern digital presses. In terms of technology, the equipments of the four major digital label printer manufacturers, namely Seccon, HP, Domino and Heidelberg, are worthy of careful study.

Xeikon's dry toner digital printer can achieve a resolution of 1200dpi. The dry toner used not only does not emit volatile organic compounds, but also has better light resistance than liquid ink. This ink is certified by the US Food and Drug Administration and can be in direct contact with food. Xeikon 3000 series digital label printers use this advanced dry toner technology. These printers can produce at the highest speed regardless of the size of the label and the number of colors used. In addition, labels of different sizes can be printed in the process of one-time paper feeding. It is worth mentioning that both Xeikon 3050 and 3500 printers have a larger imaging width, which can increase the productivity and efficiency of label production while expanding the product range.

HP Indigo series digital presses use liquid electronic ink technology, which has a very small particle size, can form a very thin ink layer on the substrate, and can achieve high-quality printing comparable to offset printing, and the drying speed is also very fast . The digital printing machine can first collect all colors (up to 7 types) of ink on the blanket, and then transfer the entire pattern to the substrate, so it can achieve higher registration accuracy. In addition, it can provide users with a variety of spot color options, and can print invisible ink on drug labels, thereby playing a role in anti-counterfeiting.

Domino Printing Technology Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned manufacturer of inkjet, laser, thermal transfer and label printing equipment. The company is about to launch a brand new four-color digital label printing machine at Drupa 2012. This printing machine can print on coated paper and plastic label paper with UV-curable ink. The printing resolution is 600dpi, with 4-level gray scale and extremely small ink droplet size. Its appearance will inject into the digital label printing machine market. New vitality. The biggest feature of this printer is that it can automatically start the print head cleaning process, reducing the workload of the operator. In addition, this printing machine is also equipped with an ink circulation system, which can ensure the circulation of ink in the print head, thereby minimizing downtime and improving the stability of printing quality. Finally, this digital label printer uses a modular design, allowing users to upgrade its functions according to their own needs.

Heidelberg recently launched its new digital printing press brand-Linoprint. The digital printing presses of this brand are mainly divided into two categories-C series printing presses used in the commercial printing field and used in the label and packaging market (on demand) Inkjet technology) L series printer. As Heidelberg gradually enters the digital market, these printing machines are only the beginning. In the next days, the company will also launch more digital printing equipment.

Digital packaging technology innovation is strong

In recent years, Fujifilm has begun to set foot in the non-traditional digital printing field, and launched a series of advanced digital inkjet technology. In addition to the commercial printing market, they have also made gains in the large-format, packaging and signage markets, and have shown their determination to meet the needs of various customers with better services.

In early March 2012, Fujifilm launched a new B2 format inkjet digital printing machine specifically designed for the short version folding carton packaging market. This printing machine that will be unveiled at the drupa exhibition is expected to set off a new one in the digital packaging industry. Round of technological revolution. It is understood that this printing press is improved on the basis of the Fujifilm inkjet digital printing press, which was first unveiled at the drupa 2008 exhibition and was launched in Asia and North America at the end of 2011.

This digital printing machine uses Fujifilm's unique print head and water-based ink technology to achieve high resolution, and the latest B2 printing machine has also been improved to make the product have higher accuracy and longer life. . It uses Fujifilm's latest high-performance inks, which are ideal for high-quality printing on folding carton packaging. It is understood that the biggest feature of this ink is that it can reduce the accumulation height of the ink on the surface of the printed matter, thereby improving the image quality on the packaging.

In addition, this B2 press can handle thicker paper and can be used online with specific post-press processing equipment. Overall, this new digital printing machine from Fujifilm can meet the various requirements of commercial packaging printing plants for production cycle and personalized printing.

In order to meet the requirements of the folding carton packaging market, Hewlett-Packard has launched a new B2 format Indigo digital printing machine. The printing format of this device is 29.5 inches × 20.9 inches. It uses many innovative technologies of Hewlett-Packard and can carry out 7 Color printing, can print up to 4600 full-color pages per hour in fast production mode. In addition, the optimized Esko packaging workflow is adopted to enhance the automation level of printing production.

Front-end automation creates convenience

When choosing a digital press, companies must always consider their requirements for front-end system functions. In order to keep the output of digital printing consistent with traditional printing, it is necessary to increase the automation level of the digital prepress system to reduce the risk of front-end errors. Andrew McLay of LabelTraxx asked the industry a question: "Can your MIS system handle twice as many orders as it is now? This is a problem we often encounter in the digital printing process." Printing companies Before introducing a digital printing machine, we must first ensure that we have a suitable prepress system.

In addition, the process of transitioning from a traditional printing press to a digital printing press is also the best time to launch an online to printing online ordering system, which may or may not include online proofing tools. Ordering or submitting documents by the customer can not only improve the efficiency of the printing enterprise, but also ensure that the job data provided by the customer to the printing enterprise is accurate, thereby avoiding errors in the subsequent production process. When submitting an order, customers can feel that they have more control, and printing companies can also try to avoid communication errors. And customers can send jobs at any time that is convenient for them, without being limited to the working hours of the printing company.

All in all, digital presses have been applied in many printing markets. With the continuous improvement of digital press technology, they will be able to better meet the needs of different markets for short-run, high-quality print production.
